A Ford Mustang can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in a time of 5.6 s. A Mini Cooper isn’t capable of such a rapid start, but it can turn in a very small circle 34 ft in diameter. How fast would you need to drive the Mini Cooper in this tight circle to match the magnitude of the Mustang’s acceleration?

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?
