question #1
a popular carnival ride is the gravitron, which is basically an empty cylinder that spins at high speeds, pinning the riders to the interior walls. what type of force does this ride demonstrate?
centripetal gossamer
energizing rotational
The Gravitron ride spins riders in a circular path. Centripetal force is the force that acts on an object moving in a circular path and is directed towards the center of the circle. In the Gravitron, this force pins riders to the interior walls as they move in a circular motion. "Gossamer" is a type of fabric or something delicate, not a force. "Energizing" is more about giving energy, not a force type. "Rotational" is related to rotation but not the specific force that pins riders (centripetal is the key force here).
