I’m not sure I think if you google it it should pop up or go on quizlet sorry
At the lowest point on the Ferris wheel, there are two forces acting on the child: their weight of 430 N, and an upward centripetal/normal force with magnitude n; then the net force on the child is
∑ F = ma
n - 430 N = (430 N)/g • a
where m is the child's mass and a is their centripetal acceleration. The child has a linear speed of 3.5 m/s at any point along the path of the wheel whose radius is 17 m, so the centripetal acceleration is
a = (3.5 m/s)² / (17 m) ≈ 0.72 m/s²
and so
n = 430 N + (430 N)/g (0.72 m/s²) ≈ 460 N
Answer:
B. 24.2 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the roller coaster, m = 450 kg
height of the roller coaster, h = 30 m
The maximum potential energy of the roller coaster due to its height is given by;



Therefore, the maximum speed of the roller coaster is 24.2 m/s.
