Chapter 1, Problem 20E
Table 1-26 (see Exercise 4) shows the preference schedule for an election with five candidates (A, B, C and D). In this election ties are not allowed to stand, and the following tie-breaking rule is used: Whenever there is a tie between candidates, the tie is broken in favor of the winner of a head-to-head comparison between the candidates. Use the plurality method to
a. find the winner of the election.
b. find the complete ranking of the candidates.

Car A starts from rest at t = 0 and travels along a straight road with a constant acceleration of 6 ft/s^2 until it reaches a speed of 60ft/s. Afterwards it maintains the speed. Also, when t = 0, car B located 6000 ft down the road is traveling towards A at a constant speed of 80 ft/s. Determine the distance traveled by Car A when they pass each other.Write the solution using pen and draw the graph if needed.
The velocity of a particle moves along the x-axis and is given by the equation ds/dt = 40 - 3t^2 m/s. Calculate the acceleration at time t=2 s and t=4 s. Calculate also the total displacement at the given interval. Assume at t=0 s=5m.Write the solution using pen and draw the graph if needed.
