This document is an assessment from an International College physics class covering kinematics and the motion of a car turning in a circle with a radius of 100 meters. It contains 5 questions asking students to determine the time equations for velocity and acceleration of the car from the given position equations, deduce if the motion is uniform, determine if the acceleration vector or magnitude is constant, and express the velocity and acceleration in a Frenet reference frame.
