1 C (d) Centripetal acceleration of Tom
2 A = r 2
3 A = 25(1.7453  103)2
4 A = 7.62  105 m s2
Centripetal acceleration of Mary
Angular speed = = = 0.236 rad s1 = 17.19(1.7453  103)2
= 5.24  105 m s2
5 (a) Angular speed  =

= 8.25  104 rad s1

(b) Period = = = 7620 s

(c) Centripetal acceleration

= = = 1.32 m

s 2

6 (a)  = 40 = 40  rad = 0.698 rad

Angular speed =

= 1.7453  103 rad s1

 1.75  103 rad s1
Linear speed = r
= 25(1.7453  103)
= 4.36  102 m s1
(b) Time to complete one cycle

= = = 3600 s

(c) By v = r,

r= = = 17.19 m

Distance from window = 25  17.19

= 7.81 m
