In an amusement park, Xiomara is watching two of her friends, Eloise and Inigo, who are on a "windseeker" ride that spins them around in circles while their seats are suspended from chains. As the ride spins faster and reaches its peak height, Xiomara notices that Eloise's long scarf starts to stand out away from her body. Sitting next to Eloise, Inigo's tie also begins to stand out. Based on the influence of gravity and the motion of the ride, Xiomara wonders what will happen to the scarf and the tie when the ride starts to slow down and descend. What does Xiomara expect to see regarding the scarf and the tie? Provide a very brief response.
As the ride slows down and begins its descent, Xiomara should expect to see Eloise's scarf and Inigo's tie gradually fall closer to their bodies. While the ride was spinning quickly, the centrifugal force acted outward on the scarf and tie, causing them to stand out from their bodies. However, as the rotational speed decreases, so does the centrifugal force, allowing gravity to have a more dominant influence on the scarf and tie. Gravity will pull these items downward, closer to Eloise's and Inigo's bodies, until the ride comes to a complete stop, and both the scarf and the tie hang down due to gravity.
