A car starts at Point A at t = 0 s with a speed vo = 18 km/h. Its speed increases at a constant rate to Point C, where its velocity is vc = 144 km/h. The curved portion has a radius, r= 148 m, and the distance between Point B and Point C is, x = 105 m. Determine the car's speed at Point B. Use one decimal place in your answer. HInt: Make sure to convert all quantities to the correct units before performing calculations!

A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 hour 45 minutes. She then makes a course correction, heading 30 degrees to the right of her original course, and flies 2 hours 30 minutes in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 340 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position? Give your answer to the nearest mile.
An unidentified flying object (UFO) is observed to travel a total distance of 42000 m, starting and ending at rest, over a duration of 2.07 s. Assuming the UFO accelerated at a constant rate to the midpoint of its journey and then decelerated at a constant rate the rest of the way, what was the magnitude of its acceleration? Express your answer in g s , where 1 g = 9.81 m/s^2. 39,207 g s 19,604 g s 3,997 g s 1,998 g s
A material point, originally located at (3 feet, 2 feet, 5 feet), is subjected to an acceleration at = (6t i + 12t² j) feet / s. Determine the position (x, y, z) of the material point at t = 1s.
Suppose we climb a mountain that is a cone with radius ro= 100 and height h = 4. We start at the bottom of the mountain (on the perimeter of the base of the cone), and our destination is the opposite side of the mountain, halfway up (height h= 2). Our climbing speed starts at V0 = 2 but gets slower at a rate inversely proportional to the distance to the mountain top (so at height z the speed is (h-z)vo/h). Find the minimum time needed to get to the destination.
In physics, it is established that the acceleration due to gravity, g (in meters/sec2 ), at a height h meters above sea level is given by g(h) = 3.99 * 1014/(6.374 * 106 + h) 2 where 6.374 * 106 is the radius of Earth in meters.

A car drives around a circular track of diameter 156 m at a constant speed of 33.0 m/s. During the time it takes the car to travel 102 degrees around, what is the magnitude of the car s average acceleration? NOT ALLOWED TO USE CENTRIPITAL MOTION EQUATION, must be average acceleration. 13.96 m/s^2 6.98 m/s^2 12.19 m/s^2 0 m/s^2
At the equator, the radius of the Earth is approximately 6370 km. A jet flies at a very low altitude at a constant speed of v = 245 m/s. Upon landing, the jet can produce an average deceleration of a = 15.5 m/s2. How long will it take the jet, in seconds, to circle the Earth at the equator? t = What is the numeric value for the minimum landing distance, d (in meters), this jet needs to come to rest? Assume that when the jet touches the ground it is moving at the same speed as it was when it was flying. d =
A certain amusement park ride takes its riders along a circular path of diameter 23 m. Starting from rest, the speed of a rider sitting along the edge of this path is given in m/s as s(t) = 0.19*( t + 0.40 t3 ) from t = 0 to t = 5 s. Find the acceleration of the rider as (a) a function of time and (b) at t = 5 s.
You're designing a highway so that the maximum centripetal acceleration on a curve is no more than 1.3 m/s^2. What is the minimum curvature radius to accommodate a 108 km//h maximum speed? This is about r=V^2/a, right? I have to convert km to meters, then hours to min to seconds. Say the final is (30m/s)^2 /1/3 m/s^2 =692.3 m Does two sig figs mean that 692 is changed to 690 m or something else to get two sig figs? Please explain? If the answer is 62.3 then two figs mean 62. If 63.5, then 64. But 692?
