30. D mmh The Kentucky Derby is held at the Churchill Downs track in Louisville, Kentucky. The track is one and one-quarter miles in length. One of the most famous horses to win this event was Secretariat. In 1973 he set a Derby record that would be hard to beat. His average accelera- tion during the last four quarter-miles of the race was +0.0105 m/s². His velocity at the start of the final mile (x = +1609 m) was about +16.58 m/s. The acceleration, although small, was very important to his victory. To assess its effect, determine the difference between the time he would have taken to run the final mile at a constant velocity of +16.58 m/s and the time he actually took. Although the track is oval in shape, assume it is straight for the purpose of this problem.

A car traveling at 20m/s is attempting to drive up an icy hill. When it getsonto the hill, it is able to go 10 meters before it hits some ice and begins sliding. Assume the hillis a 10 degree incline. A. How far up the hill does the car travel before it starts to slide back down? Make sure toinclude the initial 10 meters in your final distance. B. If the car then slides all the way back to the bottom of the hill, what is its speed when itgets to the bottom? Assume it doesn’t gain traction back, so it is sliding with no frictionthe whole way down.

In an experiment, a shearwater (a seabird) was taken from its nest, flown a distance 5120 km away, and released. It found its way back to its nest 12.5 days after release. Part A If we place the origin in the nest and extend the +x-axis to the release point, what was the bird's average velocity for the return flight? Express your answer in meters per second. ANSWER: Vay.-x = m/s Part B What was the bird's average velocity for the whole episode, from leaving the nest to returning? Express your answer in meters per second. ANSWER: Vav. = m/s
