A particle is moving at constant speed in a
counterclockwise circle of radius r about the
point x = y = 0. At a certain instant it is at
x = -r, y = 0.
What is the direction of its acceleration at
that instant?
1. It is along ĵ.
2. It is along î.
3. It is along -ĵ.
4. It is along -î./n014 10.0 points
A ball on the end of a string is whirled around
in a horizontal circle of radius 0.394 m. The
plane of the circle is 1.22 m above the ground.
The string breaks and the ball lands 2.56 m
away from the point on the ground directly
beneath the ball's location when the string
breaks.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².
Find the centripetal acceleration of the ball
during its circular motion.

A bee wants to fly to a flower located due
North of the hive on a windy day. The wind
blows from East to West at speed 6 m/s. The
airspeed of the bee (i.e., its speed relative to
the air) is 14.6 m/s.
In which direction should the bee head in
order to fly directly to the flower, due North
relative to the ground?
Answer in units of East of North.
