Textbook Question
Chapter 15.4, Problem 3dTH
Each of the following statements in incorrect. Discuss the flaws in the reasoning.
- “The acceleration at point F is zero. As point G becomes closer and closer to point F, the change in velocity vector becomes smaller and smaller. Eventually, it becomes zero.”
- “The acceleration at point F is perpendicular to the curve.”

A plane flying at 78.2 m/s [W32°S] takes 42 seconds to change its velocity to 78.2 m/s
[S32°E].
a) Solve for the change in velocity of the plane algebraically, resolving vectors into their x- and
y-components.
b) What was the average acceleration of the plane over this time interval?
c) Explain why the speed of the plane didn't change and yet the plane underwent
acceleration.
Please label sketches with events as well as GRASS and explanations to show your work. Please
label triangle sides. Remember to have the magnitude rounded to a reasonable number of sig

Algebraic relation.
A toy rocket leaves the horizontal ground and reaches a maximum height of h. The rocket
then returns back to the ground a distance d = 8 h from the launch point. If 3 = 2.14,
determine the launch angle with respect to the horizontal.
Notice that you should not calculate the launch angle in degrees. Instead, you should
supply the correct numerical argument for the inverse tangent function.
0 = tan-¹
