Chapter 11.1, Problem 11.26P
A human-powered vehicle (HPV) team wants to model the acceleration during the 260-m sprint race (the first 60 m is called a flying start) using a = A − Cv2, where a is the acceleration in m/s2 and v is the velocity in m/s. From wind tunnel testing, they found that C = 0.0012 m−1. Knowing that the cyclist starts from rest and is going 100 km/h at the 260-meter mark, what is the value of A?

In class, we used the 1967 gravity formula to derive the change in gravitational
acceleration g with latitude, and we calculated the result at latitude o = 45°. Plot the
rate of change of g with latitude () in units of mgal/km, from the equator to the pole
(ø = 0° to ø = 90°). Be careful with the units; you will need to convert radians to km.
(Recall that there are 27 radians in a full circle, 360°.)

As a body is projected to a high altitude above the earths surface, the variation of the acceleration of gravity with respect to altitude yy must be taken into account. Neglecting air resistance, this acceleration is determined from the formula a=−g0[R2/(R+y)2]a=−g0[R2/(R+y)2], where g0g0 = 9.81 m/s2 m/s 2 is the constant gravitational acceleration at sea level, RR = 6356 kmkm is the radius of the earth, and the positive direction is measured upward.
With what velocity does the particle strike the earth if it is released from rest at an altitude y0y0 = 400 kmkm?

- A motorist traveling on a highway at a speed of 60 mi/h exits onto an ice-covered exit ramp. Wishing to stop, he applies his brakes until his automobile comes to rest. Knowing that the magnitude of the total acceleration of the automobile cannot exceed 10 ft/s?, use computational software (MATLAB, Excel, or any) to determine the minimum time required for the automobile to come to rest and the distance it travels on the exit ramp during that time if the exit ramp (1) is straight.
