Question 2: At the instant shown, cars A and B travel at speeds of 70 km/h and 50 km/h, respectively. If B is decreasing its speed at 1400 km/h2 while A is increasing its speed at 800 km/h2, determine the acceleration of B with respect to A. Car B moves along a curve having a radius of curvature of 0.7 km.

Question 4: The 800 kg car is traveling over the hill having the shape of a parabola. If the driver maintains a constant speed of 9 m/s, a) Draw the free-body diagram and kinetic diagram of the car at point A, b) Determine both the resultant normal force and the resultant frictional force that all the wheels of the car exert on the road at the instant it reaches point A. Neglect the size of the car.(13-68)
