The automobile has a speed of 80 ft/s at point A and an acceleration a having a i. 2 points:
magnitude of 10 ft/s2, acting in the direction shown. Determine i) the radius of
curvature of the path at point A and ii) the tangential component of acceleration.
ii. 3 points:

Starting from rest the motorboat travels around the circular path, ρ = 50 m, at a i. 2 points:
speed v = (0.8t) m/s, where t is in seconds. Determine the magnitudes of the
boat's i) velocity and ii) acceleration when it has travelled 20 m.

ii. 3 points:

A car moves along a circular track of radius 250 ft, and its speed for a short period of time 0 ≤t ≤2 s is i. 5 points:
v = 3(t + t2) ft/s, where t is in seconds. Determine i) the magnitude of the car's acceleration when t = 2 s;
ii) How far has it traveled in t = 2 s?

ii. 5 points:
The car travels along the circular path such that its speed is increased by a t = (0.5et) i. 5 points:
m/s2, where t is in seconds. Determine the magnitudes of its i) velocity and ii)
acceleration after the car has traveled s = 18 m starting from rest. Neglect the size
of the car.
ii. 5 points:

The train passes point A with a speed of 30 m/s and begins to decrease its i. 5 points:
speed at a constant rate of at = (- )0.25 m/s2. Determine i) the radius of
curvature point B, and ii) the magnitude of the acceleration of the train
when it reaches point B, where SAB = 412 m.
ii. 5 points:
