Acar is stopped at an entrance ramp to a freeway; its driver is preparing to merge. at a certain moment while stopped, this driver observes a platoon of vehicles a distance x0 upstream and initiates the merge maneuver. the platoon approaches the entrance ramp at a constant speed v. the stopped car can accelerate from speed 0 to v at uniform acceleration rate a. find the latest time at which the stopped car can safely start the merge maneuver; i. e., derive an expression for the "latest safe start time" in terms of the variables x0, v and a. assume this latest time enables the platoon to maintain its constant speed and "just touch" the merging car's trajectory. ignore the physical dimensions of the car.

Refrigerant-134a flows through a carnot heat pump cycle at 0.5 kg/s. it is known that the maximum absolute temperature in the cycle is 1.1 times the minimum absolute temperature, and the net power input to the cycle is 2.5 kw. if the refrigerant changes from a saturated vapor to a saturated liquid during the heat rejection process, determine the maximum magnitude of the enthalpy of vaporization for this process in kj/kg (with 3 significant figures).
