Question
Thinking Mathematically: Explore the quantitative dependencies of the acceleration upon the speed and the radius of curvature. Then answer the following questions. Choose the right answer in the parenthesis.
- For the same speed, the acceleration of the object varies (directly, inversely) with the radius of curvature.
- For the same radius of curvature, the acceleration of the object varies i(directly, inversely) with the speed of the object.
- As the speed of an object is doubled, the acceleration is (one-fourth, one-half, two times, four times) the original value.
4. As the speed of an object is tripled, the acceleration is (one-third, one-ninth, three times, nine times) the original value.

- 2.arrow_forwardIf you look at the dimensions (units) of the right side of equation 2, what units will the calculated acceleration have? Does this what you expected for an acceleration value? Explainarrow_forwardOn the map, let the +x-axis point east and the +y-axis north. An airplane flies at 880 km/h northwestward direction (i.e., midway between north and west). Find the components of its velocity. Enter the x and y components of the velocity separated by a comma. I understand the quadrant, and origin but not how to then figure components of airplane's velocity. Can you simply get me up to the speed?arrow_forward
