Question
You are riding on a Ferris wheel that is rotating with constant speed. The car in which you are riding always maintains its correct upward orientation;
it does not invert. (i) What is the direction of the normal force on you from the seat when you are at the top of the wheel? (a) upward (b) downward
(c) impossible to determine (ii) From the same choices, what is the direction of the net force on you when you are at the top of the wheel?

- The net force on an object is in the positive x-direction. Consider the following statements. (i) The object can be moving in the negative x-direction. (ii) The object can be speeding up. (iii) The object can be slowing down. (iv) The object can be moving in the positive y-direction. (i) and (ii) (ii) and (iii) (iii) and (iv) all the statements are true.arrow_forwardanswer b pleasearrow_forwardA body of mass m is attracted toward a 11.1 kg mass, 31.5 cm away, with a force of magnitude 6.60 10-8 N.

The normal force is not always parallel to the force of gravity The normal force is independent of the force of gravity The normal force is only equal to the weight of the object when sitting on a horizontal surface and there are no other forces in the y-direction except gravity The normal force causes an acceleration and therefore does not interact with gravityarrow_forward
