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 club head undergoes circular motion so it has a centripetal acceleration. As the speed of the
club head is increasing, it also has an acceleration component directed along the club. Thus, the
acceleration vector is pointed as described in pointed vertically down
