Entrance and exit ramps for freeways in (Figure 1) are often circular stretches of road. As you go around one at a constant speed, you will experience a constant acceleration. Suppose you drive through an entrance ramp at a modest speed and your acceleration is 3.5 m/s?. Part A What will be the acceleration if you double your speed? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

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

In a classic Seinfeld episode, Jerry tosses a loaf of bread (a marble rye) straight upward to his friend George who is leaning out of a third-story window. If the loaf of bread leaves Jerry's hand at a height of 1 m with an initial velocity of 18 m/sec, write an equation for the vertical position of the bread s (in meters) t seconds after release. How long will it take the bread to reach George if he catches the bread on the way up at a height of 16 m? Round to the nearest tenth of a second.
You're checking your car's speedometer. With cruise control engaged, the speedometer reads a constant 60mi/h. (a) Using highway mileposts, you clock 4 min,45 s to go 5 m. If the mileposts are accurate, what's the error in your speedometer reading? (b) How much time should you take to cover each mile if your true speed is 65mi/h?
