Question
Missy’s favorite ride at the Topsfield Fair is the rotor. This is a circular ride (with a radius of 4.0m) where people stand up against the wall and it spins around and the floor drops out. The ride takes 2.0s to make one full revolution
a. What is providing the centripetal force on Missy?
b. What is Missy’s linear velocity?
c. What is Missy’s centripetal acceleration on the ride?
