Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 19Q
(Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer. Questions without this designation typically require integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.)
. During 200-meter and 400-meter races, runners must stay in lanes as they go around a curved part of the track. If runners in two different lanes have exactly the same speed, will they also have exactly the same centripetal acceleration as they go around a curve? Explain.

A 45.5lbs ball with an initial velocity of 236m/s is rolling on the rough surface slope and continues to accelerate at .896m/s^2, the slope has kinetic friction of 285N. How long would it take for the ball to stop?
A 62.3kg astronaut throws a 2.20 lbs package with an acceleration of 0.98m/s squared. If the astronaut was pushed back with a distance of 3.25m, how much farther is the package from the starting position? How long has it been since the astronaut pushed the package?
A 5kg ball travels in a circle of radius 2m. If it experiences a 20 N force indoing so, what is its speed?
