Yes, a person riding a Ferris wheel experiences acceleration. Even though the speed of the person may remain constant, the direction of their velocity is constantly changing as they move along the circular path, resulting in centripetal acceleration.
Centripetal force is responsible for keeping a person on a swing moving in a circular path. As the swing reaches the highest point in its arc, the tension in the chains provide the centripetal force necessary to keep the person moving in a circular motion. When the swing is at its lowest point, the tension in the chains decreases as the centripetal force needed is also reduced.
Yes. -- Force when you lift something. -- Friction on the soles of your shoes when you walk. -- Gravitation all the time.
It may very well be a coaster that a person sets their cups or glasses upon, with a cartoon graphic theme.
It is not age, but how tall a person is.
Albert Einstein is the person the quote "Gravitation can not be held responsible for people falling in love" is attributed to.
A person pressing the gas pedal.

Let's be very accurate when describing accelerations in this question. Consider a person at the equator. The gravitational force of attraction on him is constant whether or not the earth is rotating. This acceleration is called the acceleration due to gravity (ag) Now, since the earth is rotating about its axis, there has to be a centripetal force on the person. It is the gravitational force which provides the centripetal force. Thus, there is a centripetal acceleration on the person (ac) Finally, the rest of the gravitational force causes the person to accelerate towards earth. This is called the acceleration of free fall (af) This gives ag = ac + af ac is given by the equation: ac = w2r where w is the angular velocity and r is the radius of rotation If the angular velocity of the earth increases, centripetal acceleration will increase. af = ag - w2r Therefore, the acceleration of free fall will decrease.
that would depend on the weight of every person, and the weight of the roller coaster..and also the speed at which they are traveling
A person stomping on the gas pedal of a moving car.
No. they must be increasing speed to accelerate.
