A race car travels around the horizontal circular track that has a radius of 310.6m, If the car increases its speed at a constant rate of 6.09 m/s^2 starting from rest, determine the time needed for it to reach an acceleration of 8.49 m/s^2.
12-46. The a-s graph for à rocket moving along a straight
track has been experimentally determined. If the rocket
starts at s = 0 when v=0, determine its speed when it is at
s = 75 ft, and 125 ft, respectively. Use Simpson's rule with
n= 100 to evaluate v at s =125 ft.
