A cat rides a merry-go-round turning with uniform circular motion. At time t = 1.70 s, the cat's velocity is (3.90 m/s) î + (2.50 m/s) ĵ,
measured on a horizontal xy coordinate system. At t2 = 5.30 s, its velocity is (-3.90 m/s) î + (-2.50) ĵ. What are (a) the magnitude of the
cat's centripetal acceleration and (b) the magnitude of the cat's average acceleration during the time interval t2 - t1, which is less than a

The aorta is a major artery, rising upward from the left ventricle of the heart and curving down to carry blood to the
abdomen and lower half of the body. The curved artery can be approximated as a semicircular arch whose diameter
is 4.3 cm. If blood flows through the aortic arch at a speed of 0.37 m/s, what is the magnitude (in m/s²) of the blood's
centripetal acceleration?
A hawk flies at 12.0 m/s in a horizontal circle of radius 12.0 m.
Now suppose it flaps its wings harder and increases its circular speed at the rate of 1.20 m/s2 while staying in the same circular path. What is the magnitude of its acceleration, and in what direction is the acceleration vector?
