3. Review Conceptual Example 2 as background for this problem. One kind of slingshot consists of a pocket that holds a pebble and is whirled on a circle of radius r. The pebble is re- leased from the circle at the angle 0, so that it will hit the target. The distance to the target from the center of the circle is d. (See the drawing, which is not to scale.) The circular path is parallel to the ground, and the target lies in the plane Target Pebble 35V0 of the circle. The distance d is ten times the radius r. Ignore the effect of gravity in pulling the stone downward after it is released and find the angle 0. Problem 3

Question: Diego is getting hungry and acting like a typical saber-toothed tiger. He visualizes Sid as a hunk of meat and begins to chase him frantically around the ground. First, Sid darts 50.0 meters at 35.0° NoW and then turns abruptly and races 40.0 m S. If Manny ran from where they were originally standing to where Sid ended up, how far and in what direction would Manny have to run to break up the fight? Use the triangle method to solve this. Should you use the component method, I will award zero points. I know the answer I just don’t know how to get it. Answer: 42.5 m @ 15.5° SoW Thanks!!

A small container of water is placed on a turntable inside a microwave oven, at a radius of 12.0cm from the center. The turntable rotates steadily, turning one revolution in each 7.25s. What angle does the water surface make with the horizontal?
“Top gun” pilots have long worried about taking a turn tootightly. As a pilot’s body undergoes centripetal acceleration,with the head toward the center of curvature, the blood pressurein the brain decreases, leading to loss of brain function.There are several warning signs. When the centripetalacceleration is 2g or 3g, the pilot feels heavy. At about 4g,the pilot’s vision switches to black and white and narrows to“tunnel vision.” If that acceleration is sustained or increased,vision ceases and, soon after, the pilot is unconscious—a condition known as g-LOC for “g-induced loss ofconsciousness.”What is the magnitude of the acceleration, in g units, ofa pilot whose aircraft enters a horizontal circular turn with avelocity of (v1=400ˆi +500ˆj) m/s and 24.0 s later leaves theturn with a velocity of :v+ (-400ˆi - 500ˆj ) m/s?
