car is traveling around a horizontal circular track with radius r = 170 m at a constant speed v = 29 m/s as shown. The angle θA = 24° above the x axis, and the angle θB = 60° below the x axis.
1) What is the magnitude of the car’s acceleration and what is the x component of the car’s acceleration when it is at point A? (m/s^2)
2) What is the y component of the car’s acceleration when it is at point A and what is the x component of the car’s acceleration when it is at point B? (m/s^2)
3)What is the y component of the car’s acceleration when it is at point B?
4) As the car passes point B, the y component of its acceleration is increasing, constant or decreasing?

Charlie and Alexandra are running around a circular track with radius 60 meters. Charlie started at the westernmost point of the track, and, at the same time, Alexandra started at the northernmost point. They both run counterclockwise. Alexandra runs at 4 meters per second, and will take exactly 3 minutes to catch up to Charlie. Impose a coordinate system with units in meters where the origin is at the center of the circular track, and give the x- and y-coordinates...
