Hello. I’m trying to calculate the horizontal and vertical gs felt by passengers on a roller coaster going through a banked turn. This is for the ideal banked curve of angle theta where no friction is required to keep the car from sliding to the outside or inside of the curve.
F = m *( v^2 )/ r
I came up with this formula but I don't think it is correct: G’s felt = 1/sin(theta)
