A girl operates a radio-controlled model car in a vacant parking lot. The girl’s position is at the origin of the xy coordinate axes, and the surface of the parking lot lies in the x–y plane. She drives the car in a straight line so that the x coordinate is defined by the relation x(t) = 0.5t3 − 3t2 + 3t + 2, where x and t are expressed in meters and seconds, respectively. Determine (a) when the velocity is zero, (b) the position and total distance traveled when the acceleration is zero.

- Problem 2.23| A bicycle is moving to the right at a speed vg = 20mph on a horizontal and straight road. The radius of the bicycle's wheels is R = 1.15 ft. Let P be a point on the periphery of the front wheel. One can show that the x and y coordinates of P are described by the following functions of time: x(t) = at + R sin(uot/R) and y(t) = R[1 + cos(vor/R)]. Determine the expressions for the velocity, speed, and accelera- tion of P as functions of time.

At this position, the driver of the automobile applies the brakes causing the speed of the automobile to change with distance s traveled along the track according to the following equation: U(S) = VA COS(0.001s) m/s (cos is in radians), where s is given in meters. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration for the driver when the automobile reaches position "B" on the track where "B" is a quarter of the distance around the track from position "A".
