Express each approximation of π to six significant figures: (a) 22/7 and (b) 355/113. (c) Are these approximations accurate to that precision?
A Honda Civic travels in a straight line along a road. The car’s distance x from a stop sign is given as a function of time t by the equation where role="math" localid="1655226337795" androle="math" localid="1655226362269" . Calculate the average velocity of the car for each time interval: (a) t = 0 to t = 2.00 s; (b) t = 0 to t = 4.00 s; (c) t = 2.00 s to t = 4.00 s.

A small rock is thrown vertically upward with a speed of22.0 m/s from the edge of the roof of a 30.0-m-tall building. Therock doesn’t hit the building on its way back down and lands onthe street below. Ignore air resistance. (a) What is the speed of therock just before it hits the street? (b) How much time elapses fromwhen the rock is thrown until it hits the street?
