Answer:

I think Fgrav=mg

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of the force acting on the roller coaster car (or passenger) can be calculated using the formula FGRAV=m.g, where the acceleration due to gravity is represented by g (where g=9.8 m/s2).

The magnitude of the normal force depends on three factors—

  1. the speed of the car,
  2. the radius of the loop,
  3. and the mass of the rider.
