The Cajun Cliffhanger at Great America is a ride in which occupants line the perimeter of a cylinder and spin in a circle at a high rate of turning. When the cylinder begins spinning very rapidly, the floor is removed from under the riders' feet. What affect does a doubling in speed have upon the centripetal force? Explain.

Double speed produces quadruple (4x) force. This is because force is directly proportional to acceleration (refer to Newton) and angular acceleration is proportional to (angular speed)².

Doubling the speed of the ride will cause the force to be four times greater than the original force. According to the equation Fnet=(m•v2) / R, force and speed2 are directly proportional. So 2X the speed means 4X the force.

ONEILCLIVE is proper in its force to transport in a directly line your again pushes in opposition to the the cylinder and cylinder pushes you again via its same and reverse response toward the core. Both are self adjusting so they're constantly same it doesn't matter what is the pace. Friction among the your again and cylinder additionally performs its aspect and constantly stay same to the tangential drag via the cylinder at the again and via the again at the cylinder
