Describe projectile motion and circular motion and make 5 comparisons.

Give an example of a trajectory in two or three dimensions caused by independent perpendicular motions.

A person drives a car around a circular, level cloverleaf with a radius of 70 m at a uniform speed of 10 m/s. (a) What is the acceleration of the car? (b) Compare this answer with the acceleration due to gravity as a percentage. Would you be able to sense the cars acceleration if you were riding in it?

A particle travels in a circle of radius 10 m at a constant speed of 20 m/s. What is the magnitude of the acceleration?

A particle’s centripetal acceleration is aC=4.0m/s2 at t=0s . It is executing uniform circular motion about an axis at a distance of 5.0 m. What is its velocity at t=10s ?

A car moving around a circular track, with constant speed (a) has zero acceleration, (b) has an acceleration component in the direction of its velocity, (c) has an acceleration directed away from the center of its path, (d) has an acceleration directed toward the center of its path, or (e) has an acceleration with a direction that cannot be determined from the information given.

What is the acceleration of Venus toward the Sun, assuming a circular orbit?

Aaron Rodgers throws a football at 20.0 m/s to his wide receiver, who runs straight down the field at 9.4 m/s for 20.0 m. If Aaron throws the football when the wide receiver has reached 10.0 m, what angle does Aaron have to launch the ball so the receiver catches it at the 20.0 m mark?

A race car starts from rest on a circular track with radius 100 m and begins to increase its speed by m/s each second. At what point in time is the car's vector acceleration directed 45° away from straight ahead? What is the magnitude of the resultant acceleration at that moment?
