How fast would a satellite need to go around the earth at the radius of the Earth?R earth = 638,000 km
Example 1 • A 50-kilogram passenger on an amusement park ride stands with his back against the wall of a cylindrical room with radius of 3 m. • What is the centripetal force of the wall pressing into his back when the room spins and he is moving at 6 m/sec?

What is centrifugal force? The force we FEELpushing us out. What are we reallyfeeling?
A Geometry Review • Circumference = 2πr
Angular Velocity (ω) • Unit: Radians/Second
Some examples! Siv is standing 4 meters from the axis of rotation and Holly is standing 2 meters from the axis. Calculate each child’s linear speed when the angular speed of the merry go-round is 1 rad/sec. • Two children are spinning around on a merry-go-round.
