At an amusement park there is a ride in which cylindrically shaped chambers spin around a central axis. people sit in seats facing the axis, their backs against the outer wall. at one instant the outer wall moves at a speed of 3.44 m/s, and an 64.8-kg person feels a 261-n force pressing against his back. what is the radius of a chamber?

Since you have not included the experiment situation and the data, of course, i can not give you specific details about it. but i can you with this question.1) i will assume that the motion is projectile (parabolic) motion.2) yes, the horizontal distance depends on the horizontal velocity as, naming vx the horizontal velocity and t the time, it is: x = vx × t3) now, observe that the flight time depends on the vertical velocity as, naming voy the initial vertical velocity, t the time and y the vertical distance before reaching the ground: y = yo + voy×t - gt² / 2.the higher the initial vertical velocity (voy) the longer the object will be flying and so t will be higher in the equation for the horizontal distance.that explains the relationship between the horizontal distance and the horizontal velocity.
