A car travels around a horizontal circular track, not at a constant speed. The acceleration vectors at five different points are shown in bottom figure. The four non-zero vectors have equal length and (a) is tangent to the circle.
Rank the speed of the car at the points shown. Put a greater than symbol between letters if one is greater than the other, put an equal sign between them if they are equal. Put a space or comma between all characters. Example: d = c > a > e > b
Let your character move in a constant acceleration (a + b / 2, -a-b) along the (a,b) direction with a velocity of (a+b, a-b). If the initial position of the character is at (a2b2, ab), where will the character be located after 2a + 3b + 4ab time units.
a = 5
b = 2
