Chapter 6.1, Problem 6.1QQ
You are riding on a Ferris wheel that is rotating with constant speed. The car in which you are riding always maintains its correct upward orientation; it does not invert. (i) What is the direction of the normal force on you from the seat when you are at the top of the wheel? (a) upward (b) downward (c) impossible to determine (ii) From the same choices, what is the direction of the net force on you when you are at the top of the wheel?

When the astronaut enters the ISS (International Space Station), she is in "free
fall," where the only force acting on her is the force of gravity applied by the
Earth. What happens to her true weight and her apparent weight as she enters
the ISS? Explain. (You may want to reference p. 227-228 of the textbook to help
