Question

A 60.0-kg child takes a ride on a Ferris wheel that rotates four times each minute and has a diameter of 24.0 m. (a) What is the centripetal acceleration of the child? magnitude ?m/s2 direction toward the center of the path away from the center of the path tangent to the path The magnitude is zero. (b) What force (magnitude and direction) does the seat exert on the child at the lowest point of the ride? magnitude ?N direction up toward the center down away from the center tangent to the left tangent to the right The magnitude is zero. (c) What force does the seat exert on the child at the highest point of the ride? magnitude ? N direction up away from the center down toward the center tangent to the left tangent to the right The magnitude is zero. (d) What force does the seat exert on the child when the child is halfway between the top and bottom? (Assume the Ferris wheel is rotating clockwise and the child is moving upward.) magnitude ? N direction ?° counter-clockwise from the horizontal

          A 60.0-kg child takes a ride on a Ferris wheel that
rotates four times each minute and has a diameter
of 24.0 m.
(a) What is the centripetal acceleration of the child?
magnitude     
 ?m/s2
direction     
  toward the center of the path 
away from the center of the path 
tangent to the path 
The magnitude is zero.
(b) What force (magnitude and direction) does the seat exert on the
child at the lowest point of the ride?
magnitude     
 ?N
direction     
 up toward the center
 down away from the center 
tangent to the left
 tangent to the right
 The magnitude is zero.
(c) What force does the seat exert on the child at the highest
point of the ride?
magnitude     
? N
direction     
up away from the center
 down toward the center
 tangent to the left 
tangent to the right 
The magnitude is zero.
(d) What force does the seat exert on the child when the child is
halfway between the top and bottom? (Assume the Ferris wheel is
rotating clockwise and the child is moving upward.)
magnitude     
? N
direction     
 ?° counter-clockwise from the horizontal
