Trent is running along a circular track that has a radius of 45 meters. Trent starts at the 3-o'clock position and travels in the CCW direction, stopping after 106 meters. Imagine an angle with a vertex at the center of the circular track that subtends the path Trent has traveled. Draw a diagram of the situation and label all relevant quantities.

In an assembly operation illustrated in Figure P3.30. a robot moves an object first straight upward and then also to the east, around an arc forming one-quarter of a circle of radius 4.80 cm that lies in an eastwest vertical plane.

Find (a) the magnitude of the total displacement of the object and (b) the angle the total displacement makes with the vertical. Figure P3.30

A runner taking part in the 200 m dash must run around the end of a track that has a circular arc with a radius of curvature of 50 m. If he completes the 200 m dash in 28.4 s and runs at constant speed throughout the race, what is the magnitude of his centripetal acceleration (in m/s2) as he runs the curved portion of the track? Answer in m/s2

A plane leaves the airport in Manila and flies 170 km east and then changes direction to fly 230 km 58° north of east, after which it makes an immediate emergency landing in a pasture. When the airport sends out a rescue crew, in which direction and how far should this crew fly to go directly to this plane? Use the Law of sines and cosines to solve this problem.
A 24 kg spy drone is programmed to fly around at a constant height of 97 meters around a central point on the ground. It is capturing video footage of a building and sending it back to a secret location. The drone is flying in a circular path with a circumference of 610 m and an acceleration of 3.7 m/s2. What is the speed of the drone as if flies around in the circle?
Diwata-1 (aka PHL-Microstat-1) was launched to the International Space Station on March 23, 2016. It was the first Philippine microsatellite and the first satellite built and designed by Filipinos.
