Can centripetal acceleration change the speed of circular motion? Explain.
A car initially traveling eastward turns north by traveling in a circular path at uniform speed as shown in Figure P7.15. The length of the arc ABC is 235 m, and the car completes the turn in 36.0 s. (a) Determine the cars speed. (b) What is the magnitude and direction of the acceleration when the car is at point B? Figure P7.15
2/99 A car is traveling around a circular track of 240 - m radius . If the magnitude of its total acceleration is 3 m / s2 at the instant when its speed is 75 km / h , determine the rate at which the car is changing its speed . Ans 0. = +239 m / s2
A jet fighter flying at 300 m/s (just below the speed of sound) makes a turn of radius 2.20 km. The centripetal acceleration in gs is 4.17. Suppose the pilot makes an emergency turn to avoid an approaching missile, subjecting himself to a centripetal acceleration of 10 gs, while flying at 535 m/s (supersonic). What is the radius, in km, of his turn? (This must be short-lived because fighter planes can only briefly endure such large accelerations without serious damage, and the pilot will soon black out at 10 gs.)
At the equator, the radius of the Earth is approximately 6370km. A jet flies at a very low altitude at a constant speed of v=222m/s Upon landing, the jet can produce an average deceleration of magnitude a=16.5m/s2 how long in seconds will it take the jet to circle the earth at the equator
A car is traveling counterclockwise along a circular bend in the road with an effective radius of 200 m. At a certain instant, the car’s speed is 20 m/s, but it is slowing down at a rate of 1.0 m/s2. What is the magnitude of the car’s acceleration?

5. A car drives around a circular track of diameter 128 m at a constant speed of 34.6 m/s. During the time it takes the car to travel 249 degrees around, what is the magnitude of the cars average acceleration? 18.71 m/s^2 9.35 m/s^2 7.09 m/s^2 0 m/s^2

A centripetal-acceleration addict rides in uniform circular motion with radius r=3.00m. At one instant his acceleration is a=(600m/s2)i^+(−4.00m/s2)j^. At that instant, what are the values of (a)v.a and (b)r.a
1. A pilot in a small plane encounters shifting winds. He flies 26.0 kmkm northeast, then 45.0 kmkm due north. From this point, he flies an additional distance in an unknown direction, only to find himself at a small airstrip that his map shows to be 70.0 kmkm directly north of his starting point. What was the length of the third leg of his trip? What was the direction of the third leg of his trip? 2. A boat can travel 7.3 m/s in still water. It is crossing a 220 m wide river while pointed due east and the river is flowing at 3.7 m/s, north. What is the speed of the boat, relative to the shore? How long does it take to cross the river? How far downstream does the boat end up? 3. A flock of ducks is trying to migrate south for the winter, but they keep being blown off course by a wind blowing from the west at 14 m/sm/s . A wise elder duck finally realizes that the solution is to fly at an angle to the wind. If the ducks can fly at 15 m/sm/s relative to the…
