Acceleration, Displacement, and Velocity
1. A car rounds a 1.20 km radius circular track at 89 km/h
Find the magnitude of the car's average acceleration after it has completed one-fourth of the circle.
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
2. You walk 1260 m east and then 860 m south in a total time of 25 min .
A. Compute your displacement.
Enter the east and south components of the displacement separated by a comma.
B. Compute your average velocity in m/s.
Enter the east and south components of the velocity separated by a comma.

1. A car rounds a 1.20 radius circular track at 89
Find the magnitude of the car's average acceleration after it has completed one-fourth of the circle.
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Solution:
y
Vf Car's position at t = t
R=1.2 km Vi
Car's position at t=0
x
Initial and final velocity (after one fourth circle) of the car are shown in the fig.. Change in velocity = Final velocity - Initial velocity. To determine the change in velocity we draw the velocity vector diagram.
Vi
(Vf - Vi)
Vf
In the above vector diagram Vf - Vi = ΔV represents the change in the velocity in time t (time taken to complete one fourth circle).
Magnitude of the change in velocity ΔV = √(Vi2+Vf2) = √(892+892) = 125.87 km/hr
Actual distance travelled by the car = ¼ ...
