A motorist is about to enter the exit ramp of a highway. When it is 50m before reaching A (along the straight path), the motorist travels at 80km/h, decreasing at the rate of 0.5m/s2until it reaches B. After it reaches B, it travels at a constant speed. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration: just after A just before B just after B

2/108 The figure shows two possible paths for negotiating an unbanked turn on a horizontal portion of a race course. Path A-A follows the centerline of the road and has a radius of curvature PA = 85 m, while path B-B uses the width of the road to good advan- tage in increasing the radius of curvature to PB = 200 m. If the drivers limit their speeds in their curves so that the lateral acceleration does not exceed 0.8g, determine the maximum speed for each path.
