An ice skater of mass m skates in a circle of
radius R at a constant speed v.
- The net force on the skater must
- be zero
- point away from the center of the circle
- point towards the center of the circle
- If the skater speeds up, so that she is
again making circles, but now at constant speed 1.5*v,
the net force on her
- is still zero
- must be larger in size
- must be smaller in size
- The skater slips, falls flat on the ice,
and slides to the North. The net force
on her now
- is zero
- points to the center of the circle
- points North
- none of the above
