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_forward

Draw the ball in at least five different positions; two when the ball is going up, two when it is going down, and one at its maximum height. Label the horizontal and vertical axes of your coordinate system. On your sketch, draw and label the expected acceleration vectors of the ball (relative sizes and directions) for the five different positions. Decompose each acceleration vector into its vertical and horizontal components. On your sketch, draw and label the velocity vectors of the object at the same positions you chose to draw your acceleration vectors. Decomposes each velocity vector into its vertical and horizontal components. Check to see that the changes in the velocity vector are consistent with the acceleration vectors.arrow_forward
