d)The centripetal acceleration felt by Olympic skaters is 12 times larger than the acceleration due to gravity. That's quite a lot of acceleration in itself. The centripetal acceleration felt by Button's nose was 39.2 times larger than the acceleration due to gravity. It is no wonder that he ruptured small blood vessels in his spins.

(e) This answer seems reasonable, since she feels like she's being forced into the chair MUCH stronger than just by gravity.

b) 905 N

c) The force in part (b) is very large. The acceleration in part (a) is too much, about 4 g.

d) The speed of the swing is too large. At the given velocity at the bottom of the swing, there is enough kinetic energy to send the child all the way over the top, ignoring friction.

c) $ac=3.73g.ac=3.73g.$ This does not seem too large, but it is clear that bobsledders feel a lot of force on them going through sharply banked turns.

b) A coefficient of friction this much greater than 1 is unreasonable .

c) The assumed speed is too great for the tight curve.

The values are nearly identical. One would expect the gravitational force to be the same as the centripetal force at the core of the system.

c) The mass of the mountain and its fraction of the Earth's mass are too great.

d) The gravitational force assumed to be exerted by the mountain is too great.
