Q. A Ford Mustang can accelerate from 0 to 60 {rm mph} in a time of 5.5 {rm s}. A Mini Cooper isn't capable of such a rapid start, but it can turn in a very small circle 38 {rm ft} in diameter.
How fast would you need to drive the Mini Cooper in this tight circle to match the magnitude of the Mustang's acceleration?
Q. A 48 kg skier starts from rest at a height of H = 27 m above the end of the ski-jump ramp. As the skier leaves the ramp, his velocity makes an angle of 28° with the horizontal. Neglect the effects of air resistance and assume the ramp is frictionless.
