Question

Physics, calculating net force. Please work it out for me

Answer 1

F = 2985.125 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The radius of curvature of the roller coaster, r = 8 m

Speed of Micheal, v = 17 m/s

Mass of body, m = 65 kg We need to find the net force acting on Micheal. Net force act the bottom of the circle is given by :

`F=(mv^2)/(r)+mg\\\\F=m((v^2)/(r)+g)\\\\=65((17^2)/(8)+9.8)\\\\=2985.125\ N`

So, the net force is 2985.125 N.
