Circular turn ice finish path?

In summary, a circular turn ice finish path is a circular track or path created on a surface of ice for activities such as ice skating or racing. It is made by using specialized equipment to cut and smooth the ice surface, and the main material needed is ice. Benefits of using a circular turn ice finish path include providing a designated area for activities and ensuring a smoother and safer surface for movement. Regular maintenance is necessary to keep the path safe and free of hazards.

Homework Statement



you are making a circular turn in your car when you hit a patch of ice causing friction to be zero, while the car is on the ice it:
a continues to follow the circular path but with a larger radius than before
b moves along a path that is neither straight or sircular
c moves along a straight path line

Homework Equations



none?

Can you explain a little more why you think it's C? (Newton's laws of motion might be helpful here.)
 

What is a circular turn ice finish path?

A circular turn ice finish path is a path or track that is formed by creating a circular shape on a surface of ice, such as a frozen lake or rink. This path is used for various purposes, such as ice skating or racing.

How is a circular turn ice finish path created?

A circular turn ice finish path is created by using specialized equipment, such as a circular saw or plow, to cut a circular shape into the surface of the ice. The path is then smoothed out and maintained to ensure a safe and smooth surface for activities.

What materials are needed to make a circular turn ice finish path?

The main material needed to make a circular turn ice finish path is ice, preferably a frozen body of water such as a lake or rink. Additionally, specialized equipment such as a circular saw or plow may be needed, as well as tools for maintaining the path, such as shovels and scrapers.

What are the benefits of using a circular turn ice finish path?

Using a circular turn ice finish path offers a variety of benefits. It provides a designated area for activities and prevents accidents from occurring on uneven or rough ice surfaces. It also allows for smoother and faster movement on the ice, making it ideal for skating or racing.

How is a circular turn ice finish path maintained?

To maintain a circular turn ice finish path, regular grooming and smoothing of the surface is necessary. This can be done using a variety of tools, such as shovels, scrapers, and water hoses. In addition, regular checks should be done to ensure that the path is safe and free of any cracks or hazards.
