Your are riding on a Ferris wheel that is rotating with a constant speed . The car in which you are riding always maintain its correct upward orientation , it does not invert.
a. What is the direction of the normal force on you form the seat when you are at the top of the wheel ?
i. upward ii. downward .iii. impossible to determine
b. From the same choices, what is the direction of the net force on you when you are at the top of the wheel?

To solve the problem step by step, let's analyze the situation of riding on a Ferris wheel at the top position. ### Step 1: Understanding the Forces Acting on You at the Top of the Ferris Wheel When you are at the top of the Ferris wheel, two main forces act on you: 1. The gravitational force (weight) acting downward, which is equal to \( mg \), where \( m \) is your mass and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. 2. The normal force exerted by the seat of the car, which acts upward. ### Step 2: Analyzing the Normal Force Direction ...
