An object moves at constant speed along a circular path in a
horizontal xy plane, with the center at the^ origin. When the
object is at x = 2 m, its velocity is (4 m/s) j.
Give the objects (a) velocity and (b) acceleration at y = 2 m.

The plane has velocity vPW relative to the wind, with an airspeed
(speed relative to wind) of 215.0 km/h, directed at angle south
of east.
The wind has velocity vWG relative to the ground with speed 65.0
km/h, directed 20.0 east of north.
What is the magnitude of the velocity vPG of the plane relative to
the ground, and what is .

Exercise Problems
1. A cat rides a mini merry-go-round turning with
uniform circular motion. At time t1 = 2 s, the
^
^
cats velocity is v1 = 3i + 4j m/s, measured on
a horizontal xy coordinate
system. At t2 = 5 s,
^
^
its velocity is v2 = 3i 4j m/s.
What are (a) the magnitude of the cats
centripetal acceleration and (b) the cats
average acceleration during the time interval
t2 t1?
