Mark the position of each of the labeled points at a later time when the wheel has completed one half of a turn. Sketch a velocity vector at each point.
For each labeled point, how does the velocity compare to the velocity at the earlier time in part A? Discuss both magnitude and direction.
Is there one single linear velocity vector that applies to every point on the wheel at all times? Explain.

On that path, use a dot to represent the object’s position at time t1. Label this point as O, and draw a vector at O to represent the magnitude and direction of the object’s velocity at time t1. Draw another dot to represent the object’s position at a later time t2, shortly after t1, and label this point P. Draw a vector at P to show the magnitude and direction of the object’s velocity at time t2.arrow_forwardA child rides a pony on a circular track whose radius is 4.5 m.(a) Find the distance traveled and the displacement when the child has gone halfwayaround the track.(b) How does the distance traveled change while the child completes one circuit of thetrack?

"In Cartesian coordinate system, any vector DD can be expressed as summation of its tangential component and its normal component, such that D=Dt+DnD=DDt+Dnarrow_forwardDoes an object moving in a circle accelerate? If so, does the magnitude of the acceleration change with time? Explain your reasoning. Use an acceleration equation to support your claim.arrow_forwardA cart is moving around a circular track with varying speed. The radius of the track is 2.6 m. At the instant shown above, the angle between the velocity (v3) and acceleration (a3) vectors is 120 degrees. The speed of the cart at this time is 3.6 m/s. 1) What is the magnitude of the normal component of the acceleration of the cart at the time shown in the diagram above? [Note: "Normal component" is the genearl term for the component of acceleration that is perpendicular to velocity. In the case of circular motion, we can use the words "centripetal" component and "radial" component in place of "normal" component, but "centripetal" and "radial" only apply to circular motion.] m/s2 Submit 2) What is the magnitude of the total accelearation (acceleration vector a3) at the time shown in the diagram above? m/s?
