Question

Students are strapped into the car of a roller coaster ride. The ride makes a sudden stop. How does the inertia affect the students in the car

Answer 1

Answer:

If the roller coaster were to abruptly stop and the seat belts were not being worn, then the passengers in motion would continue in motion. Assuming a negligible amount of friction between the passengers and the seats, the passengers would likely be propelled from the roller coaster and be hurled into the air.
