(a) Find a conversion factor to convert from miles per hour to kilometers per hour. (b) For a while, federal law mandated that the maximum highway speed would be 55 mi/h. Use the conversion factor from part (a) to find the speed in kilometers per hour. (c) The maximum highway speed has been raised to 65 mi/h in some places. In kilometers per hour, how much of an increase is this over the 55-mi/h limit?

While strolling downtown on a Saturday Afternoon, you stumble across an old car show. As you are walking along an alley toward a main street, you glimpse a particularly stylish Alpha Romeo pass by. Tall buildings on either side of the alley obscure your view, so you see the car only as it passes between the buildings. Thinking back to your physics class, you realize that you can calculate the cars acceleration. You estimate the width of the alleyway between the two buildings to be 4 m. The car was in view for 0.5 s. You also heard the engine rev when the car started from a red light, so you know the Alpha Romeo started from rest 2 s before you first saw it. Find the magnitude of its acceleration.
Problems 74 and 75 are paired. 74. N A classroom clock has a small magnifying glass embedded near the end of the minute hand. The magnifying glass may be modeled as a particle. Class begins at 7:55 and ends at 8:50. The length of the minute hand is 0.300 m. a. Find the average velocity of the magnifying glass at the end of the minute hand using the coordinate system shown in Figure P3.74. Give your answer in component form. b. Find the magnitude and direction of the average velocity. c. Find the average speed and in the CHECK and THINK step, compare to the average velocity.

(a) A daredevil is attempting to jump his motorcycle over a line of buses parked end to end by driving up a 32° ramp at a speed of 40.0 m/s (144 km/h). How many buses can he clear if the top of the takeoff ramp is at the same height as the bus tops and the buses are 20.0 m long? (b) Discuss what your answer implies about the margin of error in this act—that is, consider how much greater the range is than the horizontal distance he must travel to miss the end of the last bus.
