1. The velocity Vector of any object in uniform circular motion is drawn as a tangent(Tangent) on the circumference of the circle which shows that the size of the velocity is constant but the object is accelerating. 2. Acceleration can be calculated as either change in speed( size of velocity)with time or change in with time. 3. Acceleration in uniform circular motion is caused by a velocity vector which is constantly changing

Miguel, an Ultimate Frisbee player, is running three drills (Fig. P3.17). In the first drill. Miguel runs a distance d straight down the field and then makes a 90 turn to the right, running an additional distance d. In the second drill, Miguel runs a distance d straight down the field and makes a 95 turn to the right before running an additional distance d. In the final drill, Miguel runs a distance d straight down the field and makes an 85 turn to the right before running an additional distance d. a. In which case did Miguel end up farthest from his starting point? In which case did he end up closest to his starting point? b. In which case(s) does Miguel end up farther away from his starting point than distance d? c. At what angle will his distance away be exactly d?
1. An object is at x = -10 m moving at a constant velocity of 10 m/s. What would be the position of the body after 10 seconds? 2. Two siblings, Kaeya and Diluc, decided to take a walk around Mondstadt, following its perimeter guarded by walls. For those who haven't seen Mondstadt, you can imagine it as a city of walls with beautiful German architecture. Let's roughly assume that the walls are encircling it in a perfect circle. Both Kaeya and Diluc started at the front of the huge city gate (marked at 0 degrees), and they walk separately, away from each other. Assuming that radius of the circular city of Mondstadt to be 500 m, and the constant walking speed of both siblings to be 0.5 m/s, how long until the siblings achieve the greatest separation distance between them? 3.
