Serway & Jewett β€” Circular Motion and Other Applications of Newton's Laws: Problem 9

A hawk flies in a horizontal arc of radius 12.0 m at constant speed 4.00 m/s. (a) Find its centripetal acceleration. (b) It continues to fly along the same horizontal arc, but increases its speed at the rate of 1.20 m/s\(^2\). Find the acceleration (magnitude and direction) in this situation at the moment the hawk’s speed is 4.00 m/s.

πŸ“ Solution Approach

Given: 12.0 m, 4.00 m, 1.20 m

Find: (a) Find its centripetal acceleration; (b) It continues to fly along the same horizontal arc
