A 28 kg spy drone is programmed to fly around at a constant height of 62 meters around a central point on the ground. It is capturing video footage of a building and sending it back to a secret location. The drone is flying in a circular path with a circumference of 601 m and an acceleration of 3.8 m/s2. What is the speed of the drone as if flies around in the circle?
The bola is a traditional weapon used for tripping up or grounding an animal Once it is set into motion, each ball at the end of the bola can be thought of as a single object in uniform circular motion. Suppose it takes the bola 0.3350 s to traverse a circular path with a radius of 0.8120 m. What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration experienced by either ball at the end of the bola? m/s2
