(1.b) When throwing a ball straight up, which of the following are
correct about the magnitudes of its velocity () and the magnitude of
its acceleration (a) at the highest point in its path?
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
both = 0 and a = 0
0, but a = 0
= 0, but a = 9.8 m/s2
0, but a = 9.8 m/s2
There is not enough information to determine the
velocity () and acceleration (a).

D.
stop abruptly.
reduce speed gradually.
continue at constant velocity.
increase speed gradually.

PROBLEM 2 [8 points]
The wings of an airplane flying in a horizontal circle at a speed of 680
km/h are tilted 60 to the horizontal. What is the radius of the
circle? Assume that the required force is provided entirely by the
wings lift, a force perpendicular to the surface of the wings.

Now answer the same questions in the case when block m2 has a mass
of 2.00 kg (with all other parameters in the problem staying the
same).
