Suppose you are a two-dimensional being, living on the same sphere of radius R. Show that if you draw a circle of radius r, the circle's circumference will be C=2piRsin(r/R) Then, idealize the Earth as a perfect sphere of radius R = 6371km. If you could measure distances with an error of +- 1 meter, how large a circle would you have to draw on the Earth's surface to convince yourself that the Earth is spherical rather than flat?

An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 152 ft, then climbs 137 ft at an angle of 34.0° above the horizontal. it then moves 137 ft at an angle of 48.0° below the horizontal. if we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)
