Question
an object is moving clockwise around the circle. identify the direction of the net force vector at location b. tap a button to change a vectors direction. f_net at b change option 1 of 8 check answer
Step1: Recall centripetal force concept
When an object moves in a circular path, the net force acting on it is the centripetal force. The centripetal force is directed towards the center of the circle.
Step2: Determine direction at Location B
Since the object is moving clock - wise around the circle, at Location B, the net force (centripetal force) should be directed towards the center of the circle.
