How to solve part (c)? An amusement ride ("Circle-O-Death") takes an amount of time T forthey are moving in uniformone revolution. People are pinned to the edge of the spinning wheel-circular motion with radius R.(a) How fast are people moving on this ride?(Ъ)What is the acceleration of people in the ride? Give both the magnitude and a description ofthe direction.(c) Assuming the people are moving clockwise in the xy-plane, starting at (x, y) = (R,0) at t = 0,give an equation for x(t) and y(t). Hint: Since they are moving clockwise, vy(t = 0) < 0.

You live on a planet far from ours. Based on extensive communicationwith a physicist on earth, you have determined that all lawsof physics on your planet are the same as ours and you have adopted thesame units of seconds and meters as on earth. But you suspect that thevalue of g, the acceleration of an object in free fall near the surface ofyour planet, is different from what it is on earth. To test this, you take asolid uniform cylinder and let it roll down an incline. The vertical height hof the top of the incline above the lower end of the incline can bevaried. You measure the speed vcm of the center of mass of the cylinderwhen it reaches the bottom for various values of h. You plot v 2cm (inm2/s2) versus h (in m) and find that your data lie close to a straight linewith a slope of 6.42 m/s2. What is the value of g on your planet?
