You are on a boat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean at the equator traveling in a hydrofoil going at a constant speed of 300 ?/?. The water is perfectly still. What is your acceleration: a) If you're heading due North? b) If you're heading due East? c) If you're heading straight up (something probably went wrong at this point). Assume the following: The earth has a radius of 6371 km. The earth makes one full revolution every 24 hours. The gravitational constant at sea level is 9.81 m/s2. East and North are relative to the Earth's axial north, not magnetic north.

Cross country runners must turn a corner around a tree obstacle, in the rain. a) The first runner takes a wide line to the tree and runs around a curve with a radius of 1.5 m and undergoes a radial acceleration of 10 m/s2. Determine their tangential velocity during the curve. b) The second runner is trying to catch up and so runs closer to the tree. If a loss of control (slip) occurs at a radial acceleration of 22 m/s2, does the runner manage to run around a curve with a radius of 0.50 m at a tangential velocity of 3.5 m/s?
