A pendulum with a cord of length r = 1.00 m swings in a vertical plane (Fig. P4.42). When the pendulum is in the two horizontal positions θ = 90.0° and θ = 270°, its speed is 5.00 m/s. Find the magnitude of (a) the radial acceleration and (b) the tangential acceleration for these positions. (c) Draw vector diagrams to determine the direction of the total acceleration for these two positions. (d) Calculate the magnitude and direction of the total acceleration at these two positions.

A horizontal turntable is rotating clockwise at a speed of 35.5 rev/min. The turntable is oriented in the xy-plane of a coordinate system, with the origin at the center of the turntable, and the +z-axis vertically upward. A point on the turntable is labeled A, and this point is 12.0 cm from the center of the turntable. A jumping spider sits at point A, and at the instant point A crosses the +x-axis (that is, when the position of the spider is 12.0î cm), the spider jumps straight up to a height of 2.00 cm. At takeoff, it gives itself no horizontal velocity relative to the turntable. A short time later, the spider lands back on the turntable. (Express your answers in vector form.)
(a)Find the position (in cm) of point A at the instant the spider lands back on the turntable.
rA = ______cm
(b)Find the position (in cm) of the spider at the instant it lands back on the turntable.
rspider, final = _____cm
