The channel has been anchored to a frictionless horizontal tabletop. You are looking down at the table. Forces exerted by the air are negligible. A ball is shot at high speed into the channel at "p" and exits at "r." Consider the following distinct forces: A downward force of gravity. A force exerted by the channel pointing from q to O. A force in the direction of motion. A force pointing from O to q. Which of the above forces is (are) acting on the ball when it is within the frictionless channel at position "q"?arrow_forwardA small car with mass 0.600 kg travels at constant speed on the inside of a track that is a vertical circle with radius 5.00 m (Figure 1 Figure B V 5.00 m K 1 of 1 If the normal force exerted by the track on the car when it is at the top of the track (point B) is 6.00 N, what is the normal force on the car when it is at the bottom of the track (point A)?

She estimates that the cars will round the turns at a maximum of 175 mi/h. Find the banking angle necessary for the race cars to navigate the turns at 1.00 × 10² mi/h without the aid of friction. 0 = What additional radial force F, is necessary to prevent a race car from drifting on the curve at 175 mi/h?
