Chapter 4, Problem 4.2CQ
Ail ice skater is executing a figure eight, consisting of two identically shaped, tangent circular paths. Throughout the first loop she increases her speed uniformly, and during the second loop she mows at a constant speed. Draw a motion diagram showing her velocity and acceleration vectors at several points along the path of motion.

A man runs around a circular track of 800 meters radius for 30 seconds, starting at a point directly to the right of the center and goes in a counterclockwise manner. He goes 5 meters per second for the first 15 seconds, runs 90 meters for the next 6 seconds and then 180 meters for the rest of the course. What was his average speed, his displacement from the starting point, his average velocity, and his total displacement upon return to the starting point?
