Roller coasters instead use clothoid loops (see photo below), which have a smaller radius at the top of the loop, and a longer radius where the cars enter and exit the loop. B 1) Why do you think roller coasters use clothoid loops instead of circular loops? 2) Imagine riding the loop at high speeds, will you feel heavier, lighter, or normal? Refer to the drawing above to complete the following table: Location of ride Heavier Lighter Normal Going into the loop (A) At the top of the loop (B) Going out of the loop (C) Explain your reasoning
