Chapter 15.4, Problem 2bTH
The diagram at right illustrates how the acceleration at instant 2 can be treated as having two components−one parallel to the velocity and one perpendicular to the velocity.
- For each of the other cases (instants 1, 3, and 4), draw a diagram similar to the one given for instant 2. Label the parallel and perpendicular components of the acceleration relative to the velocity. If either component is zero, state so explicitly.

Using the diagram, answer:
a) At this moment, is the particle speeding up, slowing down, or moving at a constant speed?
b) Is this particle curving upward, curving downward, or moving in a straight line?
