The diagram shows the top view of a 65-kg student at point A on an amusement park ride. The ride spins the student in a horizontal circle with a radius of 2.5 m, at a constant speed of 8.6 m/s. The floor is lowered and the student remains against the wall without falling to the floor.

The magnitude of the centripetal force acting on the student at point A is approximately

Answer:

1923 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 65 Kg

Radius (r) = 2.5 m

Velocity (v) = 8.6 m/s

Centripetal force (F) =?

The centripetal force, F, can be obtained by using the following formula:

F = mv²/r

F = 65 × 8.6² / 2.5

F = 65 × 73.96 / 2.5

F = 4807.4 / 2.5

F = 1922.96 ≈ 1923 N

Thus, the magnitude of the centripetal's force acting on the student is approximately 1923 N
