What force keeps you in a roller coaster?
centripetal force
What is example of centripetal force?
A roller coaster entering a loop experiences a centripetal force, which is exerted by the track.
What is the centripetal force of as loop to loop roller coaster?
it is something you cant see but know and one place where could find it is on a roller-coaster
What kind of a force is centripetal force?
When a body is forced to follow a curved path and be directional to the velocity of the path it is known as a centripetal force. Simply put, centripetal force is the cause of circular motion. An example is a loop within a roller coaster that goes upside down, the centripetal force is applied to the track making the coaster travel through at speed.
How and where are centripetal and centrifugal forces applied in a roller coaster?
-- A centripetal force must be applied to the coaster whenever it's supposed to move in a curved path, whether a horizontal or vertical curve. -- Centrifugal force doesn't exist.
What keeps you pressed against your seat on a roller coaster?
A force called centripetal force. Please check the related link to know more.
Why is your body pressed against the left side of the seat when the roller coaster car in which you are riding suddenly veers to the right?

How do engineers force a roller coaster to speed up?

How does centripetal force affect your life?
Centripetal force is responsible for keeping objects moving in a circular path. In daily life, we experience centripetal force when driving around a curve, riding a roller coaster, or swinging on a playground. Understanding centripetal force helps engineers design safer vehicles and amusement park rides.
What effect does force have on the acceleration of a roller coaster?
The slope of a roller coaster describes how steep the roller coaster is. Knowing the angle of the slope will tell you how steep a roller coaster is.
How can you control centripetal force on a roller coaster?
Centripetal force does not exist on a roller coaster or anywhere else. You would more be thinking along the lines of Centrifugal force. This is the force that pushes outwards. For instance, swinging a ball on a string, it is centrifugal force that keeps the ball extended outwards, and if you let go of the string, catapults it outwards. ---------------------------------------------------- In physics, centrifugal (centre-fleeing) force is a fictitious force. It is the reactionary force (Newton's 3rd Law) to the centripetal (centre-seeking) force in a rotational reference frame. In an inertial frame of reference, only centripetal force exists. The magnitude of the centripetal force is calculated as: Fc = mv2/r Therefore, if you want to increase the centripetal force, you can increase the mass of the object undergoing rotational motion, increase the velocity of the object, or decrease the radius of the circle of rotation and vice versa if you want to decrease the centripetal force.
What is the relationship between the normal force and the bottom of a loop in a roller coaster track?
The normal force at the bottom of a loop in a roller coaster track is greater than the force of gravity in order to keep the riders from falling off the track. This is because the normal force provides the necessary centripetal force to keep the riders moving in a circular path.
