8. Centripetal Forces & Gravitation
Centripetal Forces
24PRACTICE PROBLEM
In an experimental amusement park ride, riders in a rotating cylindrical chamber will experience a simulated gravitational force. If the riders aboard the ride feel a simulated gravity of 0.80 g, determine the amount of time that is needed to complete one revolution. Note that the diameter of the chamber is 25 m.
