If you feel a centrifugal force pulling you to the outside of a rotating circular wall:
 a. you are correct about what is happening.
  b. the circular wall actually is pushing on you.
  c. you are experiencing a linear force.
  d. the centripetal force inward balances the centrifugal force outward, and you feel no net force.
  e. you are only experiencing half of what is happening; you are being pulled to the outside of the circle and the outside of the circle is also pushing on you.

Question 2

This photo shows a carnival ride called a Rotor. If you had a second Rotor that spins at the same rate as the one pictured, but has a smaller diameter, the centripetal force on the people by the wall would be: (Hint: This is similar to the space station discussed at the bottom of page 168.)
 a. larger than the centripetal force in the Rotor pictured.
  b. the same as the centripetal force in the Rotor pictured.
  c. smaller than the centripetal force in the Rotor pictured.
