74. In 1954 the English runner Roger Bannister broke the four-minute barrier for the mile with a time of 3:59.4 s (3 min and 59.4 s). In 1999 the Moroccan runner Hicham el-Guerrouj set a record of 3:43.13 s for the mile. If these two runners had run in the same race, each running the en- tire race at the average speed that earned him a place in the record books, el-Guerrouj would have won. By how many meters?

If the distance dd (in meters) traveled by an object in time tt (in seconds) is given by the formula d=A+Bt2d=A+Bt2, the SI units of AA and BB must be meters for both AA and BB. m/sm/s for AA and m/s2m/s2 for BB. meters for AA and m/s2m/s2 for BB. m/s2m/s2 for both AA and BB.
Fast Car: On a hot day in the flats, the temperature is 103.6 degrees. A driver finds an empty, flat stretch of desert that is 1776 meters long and decides to push the limits of his car. He finds the car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (26.8 m/s) in 4.30 s. Now he wants to see how fast the car can go. Assume the car maintains the same average acceleration until it reaches its top speed of 84.8 m/s. (a) How long will it take the car to reach its top speed? (b) How far will the car travel before it reaches its top speed?

A student set out to measure the average acceleration between two measurements. He pushed a car through the first photogate and measured its speed to be 5.56 m/s. After the car traveled through an additional 1.18 m, it passed through the second photogate with a speed of 5.45 m/s. What is the acceleration between these two measurements in m/s2?
