To find the velocity and acceleration vectors for uniform circular motion and to recognize that this acceleration is the centripetal acceleration. Suppose that a particle's position is given by the following expression: r→(t)=R[cos⁡(ωt)i^+sin⁡(ωt)j^] =Rcos(ωt)i^+Rsin(ωt)j^ =Rcos⁡(ωt)i^+Rsin⁡(ωt)j^. Finally, express the magnitude of the particle's acceleration in terms of R and v using the expression you obtained for the speed of the particle. Express your answer in terms of one or both of the variables R and v. (the expression for speed = ωR)

A squirrel is launched due west from a height of 10 meters with an initial velocity of 80 meters per second atan angle of 60 degrees above horizontal. A strong wind blowing directly out of the north causes the squirrel toaccelerate south at a rate of 2 m/s^2. All of this takes place in my backyard where acceleration due to gravity is 7 m/s2 (a) With the positive y–axis oriented north, the positive x–axis oriented east, and the positive z–axis up into the sky, findthe vector equation for the path of the squirrel. (b) Find the time when the squirrel is at her maximum height.
