As you round a corner in your car, you suddenly hit some ice. On the ice, your car will Veer toward the centre of the curve veer away from the centre of the curve (in a direction that is opposite to choice a) continue in the direction it had when it hit the ice Explain with thorough reasoning
Background: A full non-uniform circular motion We are going to have an object completing a full circle. A smart-cart was swiveled in the vertical (i.e. in front of us). The cart’s mass is ~240 grams and is hanging from a 0.5 m inextensible light string. In this experiment, the time in seconds and force of tension in Newtons for the smart-cart was measured. a) Find an algebraic equation that relates the minimum/maximum tension to the minimum/maximum linear speed so that the speed magnitudes may be estimated. b) What would be a good way to approximate the linear acceleration at a given time? (i.e. ~3.25 s, which is approximately halfway between the minimum and maximum tension values)
Draw a picture of a cart rolling up a ramp. Draw arrows above the cart to show the direction of the velocity and the direction of the acceleration. Choose a coordinate system and include this in your picture. Draw a new picture of a cart rolling down a ramp. Draw arrows above the cart to show the direction of the velocity and the direction of the acceleration. Label your coordinate system. Sketch a graph of the instantaneous acceleration vs. time for the entire motion of the cart as it rolls up and then back down the track after an initial push. Label the instant where the cart reverses its motion near the top of the track. Explain your reasoning. Write down the equation(s) that best represents this graph. If there are constants in your equation, what kinematic quantities do they represent? How would you determine these constants from your graph?
A ball rolls off the table with a horizontal velocity of 5 m/s. How does the horizontal velocity affect the time it takes for the ball to hit the floor? A) the larger the horizontal velocity the longer it will take for the ball to hit the ground B) the smaller the horizontal velocity the longer it will take for the ball to hit the ground C) the horizontal velocity does not affect the time it takes to hit the floor

Mark drops a red ball from a hot air balloon he is riding in. Two seconds later, he drops a yellow ball. While both balls are falling, what happens to the distance between them? There are 3 possibilities listed below. Circle the correct one, and then briefly explain the reasoning for your answer. The distance between them stays the same The red ball gets further away from the yellow one The yellow ball gradually catches up to the red one
