“a 90.0 kg person rides a spinning amusement park ride that has a radius of 11.5 m. if the person’s tangential speed is 13.2 m/s, what is the magnitude of the centripetal force acting on the person? ”

Answer : Centripetal force is 1363.6 N

Explanation :

It is given that,

Mass of the person,

Radius of the circular path,

Person's tangential speed,

Centripetal force acting on the person is :

So, the centripetal force acting on the person is 1363.6 N

Hence, this is the required solution.

pythagoras' theorem

square root (-5^2+9^2)

square root (25+81)

square root (106)

angle is tan^-1(9/5)
