B.
A driver turns the steering wheel to make a right turn with her car.

A car starts from rest and is traveling at 60 mph after 15 seconds. The driver immediately lifts their foot off the accelerator so they can coast to a stop. The car comes to stop after traveling 1.25 min?a) How far does the car travel totally?b) What is the coefficient of friction between the road and the tires?
The peregrine falcon is known to be the fastest animal on earth, reaching a top speed of 240 mph when hunting. When doing so, it does not flap its wings. Rather, it relies upon the gravitational force to accelerate it downwards.
Assuming that it starts from rest, and assuming that drag forces are minimal, how long does it take for the hawk to reach its top speed? b. How far does it travel during this time? c. Near the top speed, drag forces become important, and in fact the terminal velocity is determined by the drag force. Assuming that the hawk’s body can be modeled as a cylinder, with its cross-sectional area equal to that of a circle with radius of 10 cm, what is the coefficient of drag ? for a hawk?
