Lately, Jason has been taking drivers' ed so that he can get his license. However, he's also been taking physics, and so he wonders what his acceleration is, when he drives on a circular path in an empty parking lot near Peachtree Mall with diameter 78.0 m, if he is driving at a constant speed of 23.0 m/s. What is his acceleration? O 66.1 m/s² 13.6 m/s² O0.590 m/s² 1.70 m/s²

A small plane flies at 200 km/h in still air. If the wind blows directly out of the west at 50 km/h, (a) in what direction must the pilot head her plane to move directly north across land and (b) how long does it take her to reach a point 300 km directly north of her starting point?
In 1999, Robbie Knievel was the first to jump the Grand Canyon on a motorcycle. At a narrow part of the canyon (69.0 m wide) and traveling 35.8 m/s off the takeoff ramp, he reached the other side. What was his launch angle?
In an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day, and she is blown along the following straight lines: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 130 km and 25.0 of west, then 5.10 km due east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east.
