Question
The accompanying figure shows a frictionless channel in the shape of a segment of a circle with center at "O". 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"?
