The Texas Motor Speedway is an oval racing track with curves of radius 229 m that are banked at an angle of 24.0°. The size of the track allows for race cars to achieve speeds in excess of 400 km/h. An unintended consequence of the banked curves and high speeds is that race car drivers experience excessive G forces, especially in the "vertical" direction (with respect to their body position), causing dizziness and loss of consciousness.

(a)A daring driver, pushing his car to the limit, experiences 3.57g of centripetal acceleration during one banking maneuver. What is the speed of his car during the maneuver? (Give your answer in km/h.)
km/h
(b)If the driver is seated so that during the banking maneuver his upper body is aligned with the direction normal to the banked curve, what is the magnitude of the component of the centripetal acceleration along the driver's upper body? (Give your answer in terms of g.)

There is a theory that indicates that dinosaurs became extinct when about 65 million years ago, a large asteroid hit the earth surface. dust caused by this collision blocked the sunlight reaching the earth's surface and many forms of life became extinct due to the cold. fearing this threat, how large the radius of an asteroid should you be looking for if the dangerous asteroid size is approximately the same as the one that killed the dinosaurs? available data suggests that about 18% of that asteroid's mass ended up as a dust spread evenly over earth after eventually settling out of the upper atmosphere. about 0.0180 g/cm^2 of dust, which is chemically different than the earth's rock, covered the earth's surface. typical asteroids have a density of about 1.9 g/cm^3. now that we know the size of the asteroid, how much energy was released during impact, assuming all of it was just the kinetic energy of the asteroid right before the impact?

Arunner is jogging at a steady 3.6 km/hr. when the runner is 2.9 km from the finish line, a bird begins flying from the runner to the finish line at 14.4 km/hr (4 times as fast as the runner). when the bird reaches the finish line, it turns around and flies back to the runner. even though the bird is a dodo, we will assume that it occupies only one point in space, i.e., a zero-length bird. how far does the bird travel? (b) after this first encounter, the bird then turns around and flies from the runner back to the finish line, turns around again and flies back to the runner. the bird repeats the back and forth trips until the runner reaches the finish line. how far does the bird travel from the beginning? (i.e. include the distance traveled to the first encounter)
