The roller coaster car has a speed of 15.0 m/s parallel to the ground at this point t. Determine the apparent weight of the slightly nauseous amusement park rider point B

Explanation / Answer

here,

mass , m = 80 kg

r = 20 m

a)

the apparent weight , W = m * ( g + v^2/r)

W = 80 * ( 9.81 + 32^2 /20) N

W = 4880.8 N

the apparent weight is 4880.8 N
