Question

Space shuttle Max is one of the extreme rides in enchanted kingdom. The first of its kind in the country, this roller coaster ride inverts its riders six times. If during one of its operations, a 53 kg boy experiences a net force of 1800N at the bottom of its rollercoaster loop, how fast would he be accelerating at this location?

Answer 1

`Acceleration = 33.96ms^(-2)`

Explanation:

Given

`Mass = 53kg`

`Force = 1800N`

Required

Determine the acceleration

The relationship between force, mass and acceleration is:

`Force = Mass * Acceleration`

Substitute values for Force and Mass

`1800 = 53 * Acceleration`

Solve for Acceleration

`Acceleration = 1800/53`

`Acceleration = 33.9622641509`

`Acceleration = 33.96ms^(-2)`---- Approximated
