Problem 3: This airplane is flying along a parabolic path defined by the equation shown, where x and y are both in feet. During this portion of the flight, the speed is being held constant at 175 mph. Find the acceleration of the plane in feet per second at point A (where x = 0). Be sure to specify both the magnitude and the direction. Y y = (0.0002x² +1000) ft A

You take a three-day hiking. On the first day, you travel 5.0 km heading East. On the second day you’ve enjoyed the scenery so much that you forgot to take note how far you have walked and in what direction. On the third day, after wandering for 8.5 km and in the direction 37o South of West, you find yourself in the base camp where you have started (which means the total displacement is zero). Determine your displacement during the second day of your trip.

A stunt plane flying at the Reno Air Races is moving through the sky. The rectangular coordinates describing its motion are: x = -0.74t3 + 2.5t2 + 10.25t y = -6.23t2 + 16.45t + 8.94 where x and y are given in ft and t is given in seconds. a) Calculate the velocity vector, v, and acceleration, a, of the plane after 10 seconds (velocity is in ft/s and acceleration is in ft/s²). You may want to look back at your Topic 2 notes to recall how position, velocity, and acceleration are related. Your final answer should be given in vector form. b) Calculate the magnitude of the velocity (in mph) and the acceleration (in ft/s²) at t = 10 sec in mph. [Ans. to Check: v = 132.46 mph]
