    Edexcel A2 Physics: Questions and Answers

    A physics document discusses centripetal force questions and answers. A 65kg girl experiences a centripetal force of 2530N while riding a roller coaster loop with a 20m radius over 1.5 seconds. A 75kg man at the Earth's equator experiences a centripetal force of 2.54N to move in a circular path, which is much smaller than his 736N weight. At the South Pole, his reaction force from the ground would be 736N, whereas at the equator it is 733N due to the Earth's rotation.

    Questions and answers


    1.2.2 Centripetal force [QB]Questions 1 A roller coaster has a complete (circular) loop with a radius of 20#m. A 65#kg girl rides the roller coaster and the car travels once round the loop in 1.5 seconds. What centripetal force does the girl experience? 2 A man of mass 75#kg standing on the equator is moving because of the rotation of the Earth. a b What centripetal force is required to keep him moving in this circle? How does this compare with his weight?

    c How would the reaction force with the ground be different if he went to the South Pole? (Assume the Earth is a perfect sphere.) [/QB] [ST] Answers 1) 2530 N 2)a) 2.54 N b) W = 736 N (much smaller) c) At the pole, the reaction force would be 736 N; at the equator, it would be 733 N.
