Chapter 23, Problem 1P
What is the angular diameter of Jupiter as seen from Earth when the two planets are closest together? When the two planets are farthest apart? (Hint: Use the small-angle formula, Eq. 3-1) (Note: Necessary data to calculate the two distances are given in the Celestial Profiles for Earth and Jupiter.)

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.
