(a) Repeat the problem two problems prior, but for the second leg you walk 20.0 m in a direction 40.0° north of east (which is equivalent to subtracting B from A that is, to finding R=AB ). (b) Repeat the problem two problems prior, but now you first walk 20.0 m in a direction 40.0° south of west and then 12.0 m in a direction 20.0° east of south (which is equivalent to subtracting A from B that is, to finding R=BA=R ). Show that this is the case.
A person drives a car around a circular, level cloverleaf with a radius of 70 m at a uniform speed of 10 m/s. (a) What is the acceleration of the car? (b) Compare this answer with the acceleration due to gravity as a percentage. Would you be able to sense the cars acceleration if you were riding in it?
Galileo thought about whether acceleration should be defined as the rate of change of velocity over time or as the rate of change in velocity over distance. He chose the former, so lets use the name vroomosity for the rate of change of velocity over distance. For motion of a particle on a straight line with constant acceleration, the equation v = vi + at gives its velocity v as a function of time. Similarly, for a particles linear motion with constant vroomosity k, the equation v = vi + kx gives the velocity as a function of the position x if the particles speed is vi at x = 0. (a) Find the law describing the total force acting on this object of mass m. Describe an example of such a motion or explain why it is unrealistic for (b) the possibility of k positive and (c) the possibility of k negative.

Identify whether the given statement is true. If the statement is false, write the correct statement. 1. Acceleration acts to change the direction of the velocity, when it is normal to the velocity. 2. In a uniform circular motion, the acceleration and velocity are tangential to the path. 3. A particle moving in a curved path with a constant speed has both tangential and radial acceleration. 4. A projectile motion has constant acceleration and constant velocity for its horizontal and vertical components, respectively. 5. Consider two objects (namely A and B) with velocities of VA and VB with respect to a common stationary frame of reference, say C. What is the velocity of B relative to A? --- It is the difference of velocity of C with respective to A from velocity of B with respect to C.
