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:
1. A downward force of gravity.
2. A force exerted by the channel pointing from q to O.
3. A force in the direction of motion.
4. A force pointing from O to q.
O 1 only.
