In October 1997, Andy Green broke the sound barrier on land in a jet-powered car traveling at 763 mi/h over a 1.0-mi course. As it arrived at the beginning of this measured mile, Green's car had accelerated from rest to 763 mi/h over a 5.0-mi stretch
A) What was Green's average acceleration in that 5.0 mi?
B) Calculate the time interval needed for Green to reach his maximum speed.

The current world land speed record of about 1230 km/h was set by a jet-powered car in an October 1997 run, which took place in the Utah salt flats (latitude: 40° N). Assuming that the car traveled straight north, what were the magnitude and direction of the Coriolis acceleration on the car during its world-record run? (Use 2 7.3 x 10-5 rad/s for the rotational speed of Earth, and calculate the answer to two significant figures.) acor -0.031 m/s to...
