A golfer starts with the club over her head and swings it to reach
maximum speed as it contacts the ball.
Part A
Halfway through her swing, when the golf club is parallel to the ground, does the acceleration vector of the club head point (a) straight down, (b) parallel to the
ground, approximately toward the golfer's shoulders, (c) approximately toward the golfer's feet, or (d) toward a point above the golfer's head? Explain.

tangential
The club head undergoes circular motion so it has a
acceleration. As the speed of the
centripetal
club head is increasing, it also has an acceleration component
Thus, the acceleration
vector is pointed as described in
directed along the club
