Question

(Figure 1) A small metal cylinder rests on a circular turntable that is rotating at a constant rate, as illustrated in the diagram.



A)Which of the following sets of vectors best describes the velocity, acceleration, and net force acting on the cylinder at the point indicated in the diagram?(Figure 2)



CHECK ALL THAT APPLY:

The speed of the cylinder has decreased.

The speed of the cylinder has increased.

The magnitude of the acceleration of the cylinder has decreased.

The magnitude of the acceleration of the cylinder has increased.

The speed and the acceleration of the cylinder have not changed.

Explanation / Answer

A) Force is downward, Accelration is downward, Velocity is to the Right.

B) The speed of the cylinder has decreased and the magnitude of the acceleration of the cylinder has decreased.
