Question

Please help me! Show work! Margaret, whose mass is 52 kg, experienced a net force of 1750 N at the bottom of a roller coaster loop during her school's physics field trip to Six Flags. What is her acceleration at the bottom of the loop?
Answer Choices
A. 4
B. 14
C. 24
D. 34

Answer 1

The acceleration at the bottom of the loop is 34m/$\bold{s^2}$

Explanation:

Given:  

Mass=52kg

Force=1750N

To calculate:

The acceleration at the bottom of the loop

Formula:

Force=Mass x Acceleration

1750=52 x Acceleration

1750/52=Acceleration

Therefore acceleration at the bottom of the loop is 34m/$s^2$

Roller coasters are mainly based upon acceleration theory they have two types of acceleration one is at the top of the loop and the other is at the bottom of the loop.

Then the net forces and the values are given. In many problems the roller coaster concept is included and it gives another level of clarity to the problems including the net forces
