In an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day and he is blown along the following directions: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 1.30 km and 25.0 south of west, then 5.10 km straight east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east. Use a graphical method to find the castaway’s final position relative to the island.

A particle is moving around in a circle and its position is given in polar coordinates as x = Rcosθ, and y = Rsinθ, where R is the radius of the circle, and θ is in radians. From these equations derive the equation for centripetal acceleration.
A ball swings counterclockwise in a vertical circle at the end of a rope 1.50 m long. When the ball is 36.9° past the lowest point on its way up, its resultant acceleration is à = (-22.5î + 20.2j) m/s², where i is the unit vector along the horizontal direction (you can treat it as pointing to the right), and j is the unit vector along the vertical direction (you can treat it as pointing upward). For that instant, (i) determine the magnitude of its centripetal acceleration in m/s? (ii) determine the speed of the ball in in m/s (iii) determine the velocity of the ball in m/s, i and j.
