6. A Ferris wheel with radius 14 m is turning about a horizontal axis through its center. The linear
speed of a passenger on the rim is constant and equal to 7 m/s. What are the magnitude and
direction of the passenger's acceleration as she passes through (a) the lowest point in her circular
motion? (b) the highest point in her circular motion? (c) how much time does it take the Ferris wheel
to make one revolution?

3. A fairground ride spins its occupants inside a flying saucer-shaped container. If the horizontal
circular path the riders follow has an 8.00-m radius, at how many revolutions per minute are the
riders subjected to a centripetal acceleration equal to that of gravity?
4. A propeller blade at rest starts to rotate from t = 0s tot = 5.0 s with a tangential acceleration of
the tip of the blade at 3.00 m/s?. The tip of the blade is 1.5 m from the axis of rotation. At t = 5.0 s,
what is the total acceleration of the tip of the blade?
5. A football is kicked with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 45° with the horizontal.
Determine the time of flight, the horizontal displacement, and the peak height of the football.
