A small ball is attached to the lower end of a 0.800-m-long string, and the other end of the string is tied to a horizontal rod. The string makes a constant angle of 52.5 degrees with the vertical as the ball moves at a constant speed in a horizontal circle. If it takes the ball 1.40 s to complete one revolution, what is the magnitude of the radial acceleration of the ball?

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?
Suppose a fast-pitch softball player does a windmill pitch, moving her hand through a circular arc with her arm straight. She releases the ball at a speed of 26.4 m/s (about 59.1 mph). Just before the ball leaves her hand, the ball's radial acceleration is 290 m/s2. What is the length of her arm from the pivot point at her shoulder?
A football player releases a ball with the initial conditions shown in the figure. Determine the radius of curvature of the trajectory at times t = 0.6 sec and t = 1.9 sec, where t = 0 is the time of release from the quarterback's hand. For each case, compute the time rate of change of the speed. zb = 68 ft/sec e = 37° Answers: For t = 0.6 sec, i ft, v = i ft/sec? For t = 1.9 sec, p = i ft, v = i ft/sec2

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
