Transcribed Image Text:The figure below gives the path of a squirrel moving about on level ground, from point A (at time t= 0), to points B (at t = 4.90 min), C (at t= 9.80 min), and finally D (at t= 14.7 min). Consider the average velocities of the squirrel from point A to each of the other three points.

- A special racing car starts from rest and accelerates in a straight line with a constant acceleration of 5.8 m/s². After 376 metres, it deploys a parachute which results in a deceleration of kv? where v is the speed of the car in m/s and k is a constant (has a unit of 1/m). If the car's speed slowed down to 37 km/hr 7.5 seconds after the parachute was deployed, determine the constant k and then give your answer to Z = 1000*|k| rounded to two decimal places. Note that |k| means the absolute value of k.arrow_forward5arrow_forwardYou get in your car and drive north, accelerating up to 60mph.
