A man runs around a circular track of 800 meters radius for 30 seconds, starting at a point directly to the right of the center and goes in a counterclockwise manner. He goes 5 meters per second for the first 15 seconds, runs 90 meters for the next 6 seconds and then 180 meters for the rest of the course.

A car drives around a circular track of diameter 161 m at a constant speed of 47.4 m/s. During the time it takes the car to travel 256 degrees around, what is the magnitude of the car s average acceleration? Hint: Do not calculate instantenous accelleration. Instead calculte the average acceleration over the fraction of a complete lap. Average acceleration equals change in velocity divided by change in time, and that this is a two-dimensional situation so you'll have to calculate the x and y components of the average acceleration first and then figure out the magnitude. Remember also that ax = Δvx/Δt and ay = Δvy/Δt. 0 m/s^2 27.91 m/s^2 13.96 m/s^2 9.84 m/s^2
