Lately, Jason has been taking drivers' ed so that he can get his license. However, he's
also been taking physics, and so he wonders what his acceleration is, when he drives
on a circular path in an empty parking lot near Peachtree Mall with diameter 78.0 m,
if he is driving at a constant speed of 23.0 m/s.
What is his acceleration?

S roller coaster rapidly picks up speed as it roles down a slope. As it startx down the slope the speed is 4 m/s. But 3 seconds later, at the bottom of the slope its speed is 22 m/s. What is the average acceleration.
A woodpeckers brain is specially protected from large decelerations by tendon-like attachments inside the skull. While pecking a tree, the woodpeckers head comes to a stop from an inital velocity of 1 m/s in only 1.5 mm.
A) Find the acceleration of the woodpeckers head.
B) The tendons cradling the brain stretch, increaing the stopping distance for the brain to 5 mm. What is the brain's acceleration?
C) A woodpecker's brain has a mass of about 2 g. What force is exerted on the tendons holding the brain and how does it compare to a 170 g woodpecker's body weight?
