Leila is in a bicycle road race. In the first leg, she rides 12km from Hague Park to Bluffer’s Park Beach. Thenshe turns and rides 17km to Ontario Science Centre, making a 74° angle from the first leg. Then, the final turnleads her back to Hague Park.
a. What is the total length of the race, to the nearest kilometre?
b. At what angles are the three locations situated with respect to each other?
The angle of the ramp is changed such that it is larger than theta but less than 90 degrees while the height of the ramp remains the same.
h. How would the maximum height of the box compare to the original scenario in which the ramp angle was equal to theta? Justify your answer.
i. Would the slope of the graph of vertical velocity as a function of time shown above be different for this scenario in which the box is launched from a larger angle? Justify your response.

It takes him 20 minutes to cover this distance. Write a vector in component form that describes his ride while also finding the magnitude and direction of this vector. Also, find the component of Bruce's motion which is in the direction of SW using a unit vector that uses both forms of the dot product (algebraic and geometric), then write parametric equations expressing his motion with the town being represented by the origin and t=0 being his starting point. Using these equations, what is his position after 5 minutes?
