The diagram above shows a yellow car (as seen from above) as it drives around a circular track in a counterclockwise direction. The car is moving at constant speed. At the instant shown in the diagram, the car is in the first quadrant of the x-y coordinate system. A radius vector from the center of the circle to the car makes an angle theta = 0 with the x-axis, where theta is a positive angle but it is less than 45 degrees. Which of the following statements about the acceleration of the car at this time is true? [Hint: exactly three statements are true and three statements are false.] O The x-component of the acceleration is positive. O The y-component of the acceleration is positive. O The magnitude of the x-component of the acceleration is larger than the magnitude of the y-component of the acceleration. O The x-component of the acceleration is negative. O The y-component of the acceleration is negative. O The magnitude of the y-component of the acceleration is larger than the magnitude of the x-component of the acceleration.

a bug starts at the center of a 12 inch phonograph record and crawls along a straight radial line to the edge. While this is happening, the record turns through an angle of 45 degrees. Draw a sketch of the situation and describe the magnitude and direction of the bug's final displacement from its starting point
An airplane pilot wishes to fly to his destination 500 mi due west, but the wind is blowing at 28.7 mi/hr toward 25.7° north of west. The speed of the plane relative to the air is 169.1 mi/hr. At what angle (south of west) must the pilot orient the plane in order to fly to his destination directly? If the pilot orients the plane at that angle, what will be the speed of the plane relative to the ground?

A car initially traveling eastward turns north by traveling in a circular path at uniform speed as shown in the figure below. The length of the arc ABC is 247 m, and the car completes the turn in 33.0 s. Need the answer for C in degree format not coordinates An x y coordinate axis is shown. Point A is located at a negative value on the y-axis, and an arrow points from point A to the right. A dotted line curves up and to the right in a quarter circle until it reaches point C on the positive x-axis. An arrow points directly upward from point C. Point B is on the dotted circle.

A wall clock has a minute hand with a length of 0.46 m and an hour hand with a length of 0.26 m. Take the center of the clock as the origin, and use a Cartesian coordinate system with the positive x axis pointing to 3 o'clock and the positive y axis pointing to 12 o'clock. Write the vector that describes the displacement of a fly if it quickly goes from the tip of the minute hand to the tip of the hour hand at 3:00 P.M. (Let D represents the displacement of the fly.) D = 0.46 |× mî+ -0.26 Let the +y direction be straight up and the +x direction be to the right. Recall the definition of displacement, and remember that positions are vector quantities.
Jack goes for a ride on a ferris wheel that has a radius of 37 meters. The center of the ferris wheel is 49 meters above the ground. He starts his ride at the 12 o'clock position and travels counter clockwise. Define a function g that represents Jack's horizontal distance in meters relative to vertical midline of the wheel in terms of the angle (measured in radians) Jack makes with the center.
A commuter airplane starts from an airport and takes the route shown in Figure P3.19. The plane first flies to city A, located 175 km away in a direction 30.0° north of east.

You watch an ant crawl around on a piece of paper. The paper is 10.0 inches from top to bottom and 9.60 inches across. When you first look, the ant is at the top of the paper, in the middle of the page. It crawls around finally leaving the paper at the bottom right corner of the paper. Using a coordinate system with the origin at the center of the paper, the +x+x direction pointing to the right, and the +y+y direction point to the top of the page, what angle does the line from the origin to the ant's initial location make with the horizontal? Multiple choice: 43.9° above the horizontal 45° above the horizontal 90° above the horizontal 0° (along the horizontal) 46.2° above the horizontal
