Answer: The options are not given.

Here are the options.

a) There is an additional force lifting up on you.

(b) At the top you continue going straight and the seat moves out from under you.

(c) You press on the seat less than when the coaster is at rest.Thus the seat presses less on you. (

d) Both b and c are correct.

(e) a, b, and c are correct.

The correct option Is D.

B.At the top you continue going straight and the seat moves out from under you. C.At the same time, you press on the seat less than when the coaster is at rest because the normal force expirienced will be less.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the top you continue going straight and the seat moves out from under you.At the same time, you press on the seat less than when the coaster is at rest because the normal force expirienced will be less because it is as a result of a phenomenon called Weightlessness. This occur when there is no force or little force is acting on your body. At the top you continue going straight and the seat moves out from under you because there is no force acting on your body and when the body is in free fall i.e acceleration due to gravity , the person is not supported by any thing at.

That is the scenarion that occur...
