You want to figure out just how crazy a driver your friend is. As one of many stop lights begins to change green, you produce a small metal ball on a string and let the ball hang down. As usual, your friend floors the accelerator and you note that while the car is accelerating, the ball sweeps back toward the back of the car so that the ball’s string makes an angle of about 35 degrees with the vertical. What is acceleration of the car in both meters per second squared and in terms of g’s (an acceleration equivalent to what multiple of Earth’s gravitational acceleration g)?

NASA has fired a rocket straight up into the air from ground level with an unknown initial velocity. It reaches a maximum height of 164,000 feet. This happened in Cape Canaveral therefore the rocket is under the acceleration of Earth's gavity in which we all know is -32 ft/sec/sec. Please round your answers to two decimal places. a). Find the time it takes for the rocket to reach maximum height. b). find the initial velocity necessary to reach that height.
