11. A particle is moving in a circle in the counterclockwise direction, shown below. The positions at tw time points are shown. For each time, draw the velocity vector. Then show how to construct the direction of the average acceleration vector. Then explain in words why the instantaneous accelerati vector points radially inward.

A golf ball is hit at a 64o angle with an initial velocity of 20 m/s. What are the x and y components of its initial velocity? How high did the golf ball go? How long was the golf ball in the air? How far did the golf ball go? What other angle would give this distance? (think of your lab) How would you decide which angle would be better to use?

I. If s’(t) = v(t), and s’’(t) = a(t), use the fact that integration reverses differentiation (+C) and the given information about s(t) to find the particular solution to the following problem. If a model rocket’s velocity is given by a(t)= -32 m/s2 and v(0)= 10 and position at 1 second is 1,000 m, find s(t). Hint: Integrate a(t) to find v(t), then integratev(t) to find s(t), finding each C using the given info.
