Concept explainers

Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Question

A person rides on a Ferris wheel that rotates with constant angular
speed. If the Sun is directly overhead, does the person’s shadow
on the ground undergo periodic motion? Does it undergo simple
harmonic motion? Explain.
