This is in regarding centripetal force (university physics 1):
The London Eye Ferris wheel has a diameter of 120 m and rotates at 2 revolutions per hour. This is so slow that any change in perceived normal force is minimal. However, you decide it is your destiny to help tourists experience physics, so you increase its speed to 2 rpm (revolutions per minute).
a) By what percentage does a passenger feel heavier than normal weight at the very bottom?
b) By what percentage does a passenger feel lighter than normal weight at the very top?

4. A proposed space station has the shape of a large wheel with the living and working space at the very outside edge (the rim) of the wheel. The space station rotates about an axis through the center, resulting in a normal force on the people inside, simulating gravity. The radius of the wheel is R = 44.6 m. When a person inside the station with a mass M = 65.4 kg steps on a scale, the measured "weight" is...

1. A ferris wheel has a radius of 12 m. The center of the ferris wheel is 14 m above the ground. When it is rotating at full speed the ferris wheel takes 10 s to make a full turn. We can track one seat on the ferris wheel. Let’s define t = 0 to be a time when that seat is at the top of the ferris wheel while the ferris wheel is rotating at full speed. (a) Write...

1. A Ferris wheel has a radius of 6 m and makes one revolution in 4seconds (i.e. onerevolution in approximately 12.6 seconds). A person with a mass of 50 kg is sitting on one of thebenches attached to the rim. What is the normal force acting on a the person at the highest pointof the rotating Ferris wheel? Approximate the acceleration due to gravity as 10 m/s2; on a Ferriswheel, the passengers are never upside down. 2. Consider what happens...

Does the force of gravity
alone provide the means for the centripetal force, is this why they
are equal ? For explaining why there is no normal force, could you
see it as the astronaut having the same acceleration as the ship
and so the relative acceleration = 0, so it's under the illusion
almost of having no acceleration so there's no force ? Please !! If
you have different reasoning please share. I'm just trying to wrap
