A cyclist is riding with a speed of $27 \;km/h.$ As he approaches a circular turn on the road of radius $80\; m$, he applies brakes and reduces his speed at the constant rate of $0.50\; m/s$ every second. What is the magnitude and direction of the net acceleration of the cyclist on the circular turn ?

$(a)$ Earth can be thought of as a sphere of radius $6400\, km$. Any object (or a person) is performing circular motion around the axis of the earth due to the earth rotation (period $1$ day). What is acceleration of object on the surface of the earth (at equator) towards its centre ? What is it at latitude $(\theta )$ ? How does these accelerations compare with $g=9.8\,m/s^2$ ?
