    Why does doubling the turn radius increase max speed by √2 not 2?

    Yes, this is correct, and you're using the proper reasoning. Be sure to distinguish between v1 and v2

    Why does doubling the turn radius increase max speed by √2 not 2?

    The maximum uniform circular velocity, is limited by the static frictional force of the tires on the pavement. So, Newton's 2nd law gives us $$∑F = f = m a_{\text{rad}}=\frac{m v^2}{R}$$ The maximum friction for available is fmax = usm g. So, you need to consider the radial acceleration...

    Rotation of a hoop about an off-center axis

    You'll want to use conservation of energy to solve this, as it's the easiest approach. U1 + K1 + W = U2 + K2. The initial energy is just that of the height of the center of mass (2R), m g h = (.3)(9.8)(2*.2) = 1.176J. The ending energy is the rotational KE of the hoop about the axis, or (.5) I...

    How many integers to pick such that 2 of them have digit in common

    There are 9*9*8 = 648 integers which do not have a repeating digit. (1 - 9) * (0 - 9 -1) * (0 - 9 - 2) So, you must pick 649 to insure you have an integer with a repeating digit.
