Circular Motion Quiz 2

The document contains a 10 question multiple choice quiz about circular motion concepts in physics such as centripetal force, centripetal acceleration, and friction. Question topics include a roller coaster passenger, tension in a string whirling a rock in a circle, reasons why a car may skid in a corner, how centripetal force scales with radius when speed is held constant, calculating centripetal force and acceleration for an object moving in a circle, and finding minimum friction forces and coefficients to maintain circular motion.

At which position is the tension in the string the least? a. at the bottom of the circle b. at the top of the circle c. on the ascending side of the circle d. on the descending side of the circle e. The tension in the string is the same at all places on the circle. Why a. b. c. d. might a car skid as it negotiates a sharp corner? too much mass insufficient mass insufficient friction coefficient of friction is too large
