An object moving at constant speed v around a circle of radius r has an acceleration a directed toward the center of the circle. The SI unit of acceleration is m/s2. If the speed is increased 17.5%, by what percentage does the radial acceleration increase?
Two vectors, A and B have their tails at the origin and are described by parameters (r,θ), where r is distance to the tip of the vector from the origin, and θ is the angle it makes with the positive x-axis. For A = (4, 30 deg) and B = (2, 90 deg), what is AB ?

Vector A can be expressed in (i,j,k) notation as 5.0i - 4.0j, and vector B as -7.0i + 2.0j. Determine the value of 3A + 2B in terms of magnitude and angle. The angle can be specified either as a value between 0 and 360 degrees counter- clockwise with respect to the positive x-axis, or as a value between 0 and 90 degrees in the appropriate Cartesian quadrant.

Myla participated in a running competition. She ran around a circular track with a radius of 1.0 x 102 m. Myla completed the track after 2 minutes. If she had a constant speed, what was Myla’s average speed in the entire run? answer in "m·s", please.
If you make multiple measurements of your height, you are likely to find that the results vary by nearly half an inch in either direction due to measurement error and actual variations in height. You are slightly shorter in the evening, after gravity has compressed and reshaped your spine over the course of a day. One measurement of a man's height is 6 feet and 1 inch. Express his height in meters, using the appropriate number of significant figures.
A hiking girl needs to go 39.2 km straight North to get to base camp, instead the compass confuses her and she travels 17.248 km at a 3.9° deflection East from straight North. Then she realizes what she has done and so guesses an angle of 17.8° deflection West of straight North and then hikes 30.576 km. What is the magnitude of her displacement from where she is now located to base camp. (put your answer is standard units)
