Assume that the sun orbits the center of the galaxy at a speed of 220 km/s and a distance of 26,000 light-years from the center.
calculate the circumference of the sun’s orbit, assuming it to be approximately circular. (remember that the circumference of a circle is given by 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle. be sure to use consistent units. the conversion from light-years to km/s can be found in an online calculator or appendix, or you can calculate it for yourself: the speed of light is 300,000 km/s, and you can determine the number of seconds in a year.)
calculate the sun’s period, the “galactic year.” again, be careful with the units. does it agree with the number we gave above?

Aparticle's position is given by x = 3.00 - 9.00t + 3t2, in which x is in meters and t is in seconds. (a) what is its velocity at t = 1 s? (b) is it moving in the positive or negative direction of x just then? (c) what is its speed just then? (d) is the speed increasing or decreasing just then? (try answering the next two questions without further calculation.) (e) is there ever an instant when the velocity is zero? if so, give the time t; if not, answer "0". (f) is there a time after t = 3 s when the particle is moving in the negative direction of x? if so, give the time t; if not, answer "0".
