A passenger on a Ferris wheel moves in a vertical circle at constant speed. Are the forces on her balanced?

No.
Since a force is a vector and the centripetal force caused by the rotation constantly changes direction, the net force is equally and continuously changing.
Also... No, because there is an inward force.

What is the motion of Ferris wheel?
Motion of ferris wheel is translatory motion.
What type of motion is a ferris wheel?
motion of ferris wheel is circular , rotatory or translatory
A 34.1 kg child rides a Ferris wheel whose diameter is 18.3 m When the ride is turning at a constant rate the child's speed has a constant value of 4.23 ms Find the normal force the seat exerts?
First calculate the acceleration: the magnitude of circular acceleration is velocity2/ radius.Then use Newton's Law: force = mass x acceleration.
How do riders in a ferris wheel possess translatory motion but not circular motion?
This is bacuse the chairs in the ferris wheel are mounted on axles on which the chairs can rotate.
What is the tangential speed of a passenger on a Ferris wheel that has a radius r10m and rotates once in 2 seconds?
speed v = rotational velocity w x radius r; w = 2 x pi /2 = pi; v = 31.4 m/sec
What materials are used for a ferris wheel?
Ferris wheels are made of steel beams with a rotating upright wheel with multiple passenger-carrying capsules.
Going around a ferris wheel without stopping is an example of what type of circular motion?
Ferris wheel goes around in uniform circular motion. The wheel traverses in a circular path at a constant speed and distance of the body from the axis of rotation is fixed as constant at all times. While the speed is constant, its velocity is not constant but changing. It is an example of centripetal force constant in magnitude acting towards the axis of rotation.
What type of circular motion is going around on a Ferris wheel without stopping an example of?
The type of circular motion on a Ferris wheel without stopping is an example of uniform circular motion. In this type of motion, the speed of the object remains constant, but its direction changes continuously, moving in a circle at a consistent rate.
What is the tangential speed of a passenger car on a ferris wheel that has a radius of 10 meters and rotates once in 30 seconds?
2.09
If a ferris wheel is rotating at constant speed is it moving at a constant velocity?
No. Velocity combines speed and the direction of motion.Constant velocity is constant speed in a straight line.In circular motion, the velocity is always changing even if the speed is constant,because the direction is always changing.
Who played ferris in ferris Bueller?
Matthew Broderick plays Ferris in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
George ferris invented the ferris wheel?

What is the birth name of Alex Ferris?
Alex Ferris's birth name is Alexander Ferris.
What is the birth name of Costas Ferris?
Costas Ferris's birth name is Konstantinos Ferris.
What connection does the ferris wheel have to Pittsburghh?
George Ferris invented the ferris wheel in Pittsburg....
Where is the Ferris Public Library in Ferris located?
