A bicycle racer sprints at the end of a race to clinch a victory. The racer has an initial velocity of 13.0 m/s and accelerates at the rate of 0.600 m/s2 for 7.00 s.
(a) What is his final velocity?
(b) The racer continues at this velocity to the finish line. If he
was 300 m from the finish line when he started to accelerate, how
much time did he save?
(c) One other racer was 5.00 m ahead when the winner started to
accelerate, but he was unable to accelerate and traveled at 13.3
m/s until the finish line. How far ahead of him (in meters and in
seconds) did the winner finish?

Enter the letters corresponding to all the true statements.
1. At a certain location there is a constant horizontal magnetic field pointing to the east. A square loop of wire is placed in this field. At time A the bottom of the loop is resting on the floor (which is insulating), and the plane of the square loop is vertical and perpendicular to the magnetic field. The loop tips over and at time B it is flat on the floor. For this situation...
A) The induced current is greatest just before the loop starts
to tip
B) While the loop is tipping over, the
induced current is flowing northward through the bottom side of the
square
C) The magnetic flux does not change as a
result of the loop tipping over
D) Current is induced to flow in the loop
because the magnetic flux is changing
E) Before the loop starts to tip over,
there is no induced current in the square loop
2. Electromagnetic waves are traveling straight down towards the
center of the earth. For these waves...
A) if the electric field points east, the
associated magnetic field points north
B) if the electric field points north, the
associated magnetic field points east
C) a high-frequency wave has a shorter
wavelength than a low-frequency wave
D) green light has a higher frequency than
blue light
E) visible light has a longer wavelength

A 178g block is launched by compressing a spring of constant k=200N/m a distance of 15 cm. The spring is mounted horizontally, and the surface directly under it is frictionless. But beyond the equilibrium position of the spring end, the surface has coefficient of friction ?=0.27. This frictional surface extends 85 cm, followed by a frictionless curved rise
After launch, where does the block finally come to rest? Measure from the left end of the frictional zone.
