7. A kangaroo hunter uses a heavy rock tied to a 2m long string. He holds the free end 2m above the ground level swings it in a horizontal circle. If the vine breaks when the angle of the vine and vertical is 60°, what minimum distance can the kangaroo stand from the hunter without being hit? [A: 3.0 m]

A child is standing on the edge of a 3-meter radius merry-go-round that is spinning at a constant rate of 0.3 revolutions per second. What is the magnitude and direction of the centripetal acceleration of the child? and when to use ac equal to v^2/r and when to use ac equal to velocity^2 times by radius,
At 714 A.M. on June 30, 1908, a huge explosion occurred above remote central Siberia, at latitude 61 N and longitude 102 E; the fireball thus created was the brightest flash seen by anyone before nuclear weapons. The Tunguska Event, which according to one chance witness “covered an enormous part of the sky,” was probably the explosion of a stony asteroid about 140 m wide. (a) Considering only Earth’s rotation, determine how much later the asteroid would have had to arrive to put the explosion above Helsinki at longitude 25 E. This would have obliterated the city. (b) If the asteroid had, instead, been a metallic asteroid, it could have reached Earth’s surface. How much later would such an asteroid have had to arrive to put the impact in the Atlantic Ocean at longitude 20 W? (The resulting tsunamis would have wiped out coastal civilization on both sides of the Atlantic.)

A flea is at point on a horizontal turntable, 10.0 cm from the center. The turntable is rotating at 33.3 rev/min in the clockwise direction. The flea jumps straight up to a height of 5.00 cm. At takeoff, it gives itself no horizontal velocity relative to the turntable. The Ilea lands on the turntable at point . Choose the origin of coor-dinates to be at the center of the turntable and the positive xaxis passing through at the moment of takeoff. Then the original position of the flea is 10.0i cm. (a) Kind die position of point when die Ilea lands. (b) Find die position of point when the flea lands.
