Chapter 11, Problem 8AP
A cyclist enters a curve of 30-m radius at a speed of 12 m/s. As the brakes are applied, speed is decreased at a constant rate of 0.5 m/s2. What are the magnitudes of the cyclist’s radial and tangential accelerations when his speed is 10 m/s? (Answer: ar = 3.33 m/s2; at = −0.5 m/s2)

Based on the acceleration in the above ball rolling down an inclined plane (with vo = 0 meters per second), how far would it have traveled along the inclined plane in the first six seconds of rolling?
9 meters
16 meters

The “mean-speed theorem” for calculating average velocity under constant acceleration, developed by Thomas Bradwardine and the Mertonian Calculators at Oxford University, is expressed algebraically as:
density = weight/volume
(m1)(v1) = (m2)(v2)
C. (vm) = 1/2 (v0 + vf)
s = (v0)(t) + 1/2 (a)(t2)
velocity = distance/time

4.0 meters per second2
5.0 meters per second2
