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

Question
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.
