Chapter 1.4, Problem 3cT
At several points on each of the diagrams below, draw a vector that represents the acceleration of the object.
Characterize the direction of the acceleration at each point on the trajectory for each case.
Is the acceleration directed toward the “center” of the oval at every point on the trajectory for either of these cases?
Sketch arrows to show the direction of the acceleration for the following trajectories:

A golfer starts with the club over her head and swings it to reach maximum speed as it contacts the ball.
Halfway through her swing, when the golf club is parallel to the ground, does the acceleration vector of the club head point (a) straight down, (b) parallel to the ground, approximately toward the golfer's shoulders, (c) approximately toward the golfer's feet, or (d) toward a point above the golfer's head? Explain.
Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right.
The club head undergoes circular motion so it has a _____ acceleration. As the speed of the club head is increasing, it also has an acceleration component _________. Thus, the acceleration vector is pointed as described in _________.

The airplane flies horizontally with constant speed of 483 km/hour at an altitude of 975 m . The positive x and y directions are defined in the figure. For all parts, assume that the "island" refers to the point at a distance D from the point at which the package is released, as shown in the figure. Ignore the height of this point above sea level.
