the horizontal is !. The drag on the projectile results
in an acceleration term aD ! "kv, where k is a con-
stant and v is the velocity of the projectile. Deter-
mine the x- and y-components of both the velocity
and displacement as functions of time. What is the

Problem-­‐2   The speed of a car increases uniformly with time
from 50 km/h at A to 100 km/h at B during 10 sec-
onds. The radius of curvature of the hump at A is
40 m. If the magnitude of the total acceleration of
the mass center of the car is the same at B as at A,
compute the radius of curvature !B of the dip in the
road at B. The mass center of the car is 0.6 m from
the road.
