Potential and kinetic energy are at play when we talk about Newton's second law of motion through the various positions in relation to the bodies involved.
<h3>What is Newton's second law of motion?</h3>
This law states that force is equal to the rate of change of momentum and is denoted as F = mv where m is mass and v is velocity.
Potential energy is the energy is possessed by a body by virtue of its position while kinetic energy is possessed by a body by virtue of its motion. Both forms of energy are influenced by forces and are equal to the total momentum.
Because the Ferris wheel has two bars at the side that keep it in place so it doesn't roll away. The Ferris wheel only moves in one place. If the ferris wheel did roll then you would have a greater than one. If it did roll it would be dangerous.
