Question

The figure below shows an overhead view of an amusement park ride that travels at constant speed through five circular arcs of radii R0, 2R0, and 3R0. Rank the arcs according to the magnitude of the centripetal force acting on a rider while traveling in the arcs, greatest first. Use only ">" or "=" symbols. If any elements are equal, show their equality in numeric order (for example: 4>2=3)

Explanation / Answer

centripetal force = mv^2/r

So, centripetal force is inversely proportional to radius,

So, the order should be: 4 > 3 >(2=1) >5 <-------------answer
