Ramon and Sally are observing a toy car speed up as it goes around a circular track. Ramon says, 鈥淭he car鈥檚 speeding up, so there must be a net force parallel to the track.鈥 鈥淚 don鈥檛 think so,鈥 replies Sally. 鈥淚t鈥檚 moving in a circle, and that requires centripetal acceleration. The net force has to point to the center of the circle.鈥 Do you agree with Ramon, Sally, or neither? Explain.

While at the county fair, you decide to ride the Ferris wheel. Having eaten too many candy apples and elephant ears, you find the motion somewhat unpleasant. To take your mind off your stomach, you wonder about the motion of the ride. You estimate the radius of the big wheel to be , and you use your watch to find that each loop around takes .
a. What are your speed and the magnitude of your acceleration?
b. What is the ratio of your weight at the top of the ride to your weight while standing on the ground?
c. What is the ratio of your weight at the bottom of the ride to your weight while standing on the ground?
