That would make sense if you change "centripetal force" to "static friction." Centripetal force, by definition, is the force that keeps the person on the circular path. Before the person slips, the static friction between their feet and the carousel is centripetal. It is exactly the force required to maintain their circular motion. After the person slips, there is no longer any centripetal force because they are no longer following that path. | |
