A 42kg person on a merry-go-round is traveling in a circle with a radius of 2m at a speed of 5 m/s. It asked for the acceleration which I got a 12.5 m/s (second square) and it also asked for the net horizontal force which I got at 525 N but I couldn't figure out how to get the final question which is this- (c) How does it compare with the person's weight?
Fhor.,net / W =
