26.
A boat is traveling along a circular path having a radius of 20 m. Determine the magnitude of the boat's acceleration if at a given instant the boat's speed is v = 5 m/s and the rate of increase in speed is v = 2 m/s2.
27.

As the instant shown, cars A and B are traveling at speeds of 20 mi/h and 45 mi/h, respectively. If B is acceleration at 1600 mi/h2 while A maintains a constant speed, determine the magnitudes of the velocity and acceleration of A with respect to B.
28.

The block B is suspended from a cable that is attached to the block at E, wraps around three pulleys, and is tied to the back of a truck. If the truck starts from rest when xD is zero, and moves forward with a constant acceleration of aD = 2 m/s2, determine the speed of the block at the instant xD = 3 m.
29.
A train travels along a horizontal circular curve that has a radius of 200 m. If the speed of the train is uniformly increased from 30 km/h to 45 km/h in 5 s, determine the magnitude of the acceleration at the instant the speed of the train is 40 km/h.
30.
A fly traveling horizontally at a constant speed enters the open window of a train and leaves through the opposite window 3 m away 0.75 s later. If the fly travels perpendicular to the train's motion as seen from an observer on the ground, and the train is traveling at 3 m/s, determine the speed of the fly as observed by a passenger on the train.
