An airplane starts from rest and accelerates at a constant 10.8 m/s2. What is its speed at the end of a 400 m-long runway?
 
  A) 4320 m/s B) 93.0 m/s C) 37.0 m/s D) 186 m/s E) 65.7 m/s

Question 2

Block 1 and block 2 have the same mass, m, and are released from the top of two inclined planes of the same height making 30 and 60 angles with the horizontal direction, respectively.
 
  If the coefficient of friction is the same in both cases, which of the blocks is going faster when it reaches the bottom of its respective incline? A) We must know the actual masses of the blocks to answer.
  B) Both blocks have the same speed at the bottom.
  C) Block 1 is faster.
  D) Block 2 is faster.
  E) There is not enough information to answer the question because we do not know the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
