Textbook Question
Chapter 15.4, Problem 2bTH
The diagram at right illustrates how the acceleration at instant 2 can be treated as having two components−one parallel to the velocity and one perpendicular to the velocity.
- For each of the other cases (instants 1, 3, and 4), draw a diagram similar to the one given for instant 2. Label the parallel and perpendicular components of the acceleration relative to the velocity. If either component is zero, state so explicitly.

At t=0 s a particle is located at 5 m north of the origin, has a velocity of 2.25 m/s south, and is moving with a constant acceleration of
0.25 m/s? north. Use this information to help you fill in the table below. Then, in the diagram below the data table, place each dot
where the particle will be at the indicated time. Let south be the positive direction & north be the negative direction. The units for the
number line are meters. [NOTE: This problem requires Flash so it may not work on Apple products such as the iPhone or iPad.]
