The arctic tern flies from the Arctic to the Antarctic and back every year, a total distance of 22,000 miles! In late summer, the terns start their migration south, and it takes about 3 months to go the 11,000 miles. What is the average velocity, in miles per day, that these birds travel? (Remember, velocity also includes direction!)

Two steel balls, each of mass m, are welded to a light rod of length l and negligible mass and are initially at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. a horizontal force of magnitude f is suddenly applied to the rod as shown. determine (a) the instantaneous acceleration a of the mass center g and (b) the corresponding rate at which the angular velocity of the assembly about g is changing with time.
