A60 kg gila monster on a merry go round is travelling in a circle with a radius of 3 m at a speed of 2m/s
what is acceleration and net force and compare this with monster weight

Acceleration: 1.3 m/s².Net Force: 80 N (2 sig. fig.).Weight: 5.9 × 10² N = 590 N.Explanation

Apply the equation for objects that move in circles:

,

where

is the acceleration of the object, is the tangential speed of the object, and is the radius of the circular path.

For this monster:

is to be found, , and.

.

By Newton's Second Law,

,

where

is the net force on an object, is the mass of the object, and is the acceleration of the object. is to be found, for this monster, and from previous calculations.

.

Weight of an object near the surface of the earth:

,

where

is the mass of the object, and is the gravitational acceleration "constant" (a.k.a. gravitational field strength.) near the surface of the earth.
