The locations where the riders feel less than their normal weight are Location A, Location C and Location D.

The given parameters;

  • Location A, a = 10 m/s² down
  • Location B, a = 2 m/s² up
  • Location C, a = 6 m/s² down
  • Location D, a = 12 m/s² down
  • Location E, a = 6 m/s² up

The normal weight of the riders is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion as follows;

W = mg

W = 9.8m

The apparent weight of the riders for the upward acceleration is calculated  as follows;

[tex]R = m(g + a)[/tex]

The apparent weight of the riders for the downward acceleration is calculated  as follows;

[tex]R = m(g - a)[/tex]

The apparent weight of the riders at location A is calculated as follows;

[tex]R_ A = m(9.8 - 10)\\\\R_ A = -0.2 m[/tex]

The apparent weight of the riders at location B is calculated as follows;

[tex]R_B = m(9.8 + 2)\\\\R_B = 11.8 m[/tex]

The apparent weight of the riders at location C is calculated as follows;

[tex]R_C = m(9.8 - 6)\\\\R_C = 3.8 m[/tex]

The apparent weight of the riders at location D is calculated as follows;

[tex]R_D = m(9.8 - 12)\\\\R_D = -2.2 m[/tex]

The apparent weight of the riders at location E is calculated as follows;

[tex]R_E = m(9.8 + 6)\\\\R_E = 15.8 m[/tex]

Thus, the locations where the riders feel less than their normal weight are;

  • Location A
  • Location C
  • Location D.
