Becuase Gravity. The Earthp pulls you down, you do not pull the earth.
Inelastic.
If it was elastic, they'd bump right off each other. But since they've been locked, or stuck together, this is inelastic.
The parallel component is given by
F=180cos(25)=163.14N
Answer:
e. Both the acceleration and net force on the car point inward.
Explanation:
If no net force acts on the car, the car must drive in a straight line, at constant speed.
As the acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the velocity vector, this means that it can produce either a change in the magnitude of the velocity (the speed) or in the direction.
In order to the car can follow a circular trajectory, it must be subjected to an acceleration, that must go inward, trying to take the car towards the center of the circle.
The net force that causes this acceleration, aims inward, and is called the centripetal force.
It is not a different type of force, it can be a friction force, a tension force, a normal force, etc., as needed.
