Modern roller coasters have vertical loops like the one shown in the figure. The radius of curvature is smaller at the top than on the sides so that the downward centripetal acceleration at the top will be greater than the acceleration due to gravity keeping the passengers pressed firmly into their seats. nd Date: 11/15/2018 11:59:00 PM C.
