A car rounds a circle while maintaining a constant speed. At the instant shown in the diagram, does the car have an acceleration as it rounds the curve? A. No, because its speed is constant. B. Yes. C. Not enough information is given. 0% 0% 0% Yes. Not enough information i... No, because its speed is ...

Bob the block is placed next to the cylindrical glass wall of an amusement park ride. The cylinder then spins up to a constant angular velocity, and spinning Bob remains stuck to the wall even when the floor drops away. The free- body diagram of all forces acting on Bob looks like: A. B. C. D. E. None of the above 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% None of the above
In a physics lab, you place a block on the top of a low-friction ramp. The block slides down the ramp, around a circular part at the bottom, up a ramp on the other side, and then shoots off the end. At what point (if any) is the net force on the block zero? A. B. C. D. E. None of the above 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% None of the above
