A 1202-kg car is stopped at a stoplight. Inside, the car has three occupants. The two passengers have a mass of 75 kg each, while the driver has a mass of 105 kg. The driver steps on the gas pedal, and the car begins to accelerate at a rate of 2.5 m/s2 . What is the force that the engine is applying to the car?

An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal circle. the athlete is able to rotate the ball at the rate of 8.13 rev/s when the length of the chain is 0.600 m. when he increases the length to 0.900 m, he is able to rotate the ball only 6.04 rev/s. (a) which rate of rotation gives the greater speed for the ball? 6.04 rev/s 8.13 rev/s (b) what is the centripetal acceleration of the ball at 8.13 rev/s? m/s2 (c) what is the centripetal acceleration at 6.04 rev/s? m/s2
