This is a picture of a little hill along a road, just a little rise in the pavement. If you don't drive so very slowly, you feel a little lighter, a little "lifted" in your seat as you go over the top of it. (If you drive too fast, you spend a moment in the air!) A. First, without doing any calculations, explain why you feel lifted in your seat. B. Now we're going to come up with an estimate of how much lighter you feel. Suppose the hill is approximately shaped like an arc of a circle that has a radius of 20m. Find the magnitude of the force the seat exerts upward on you, as the moment you're at the top of the bump, expressed as a percentage of your weight.

Aparticle's position is given by x = 3.00 - 9.00t + 3t2, in which x is in meters and t is in seconds. (a) what is its velocity at t = 1 s? (b) is it moving in the positive or negative direction of x just then? (c) what is its speed just then? (d) is the speed increasing or decreasing just then? (try answering the next two questions without further calculation.) (e) is there ever an instant when the velocity is zero? if so, give the time t; if not, answer "0". (f) is there a time after t = 3 s when the particle is moving in the negative direction of x? if so, give the time t; if not, answer "0".
