Kinematics of Particle: Practice Manual On Applied Mechanics I Ramesh Khanal-2016, Nepal Engineering College

This document contains 9 problems related to kinematics of particles. Each problem defines relationships between position, velocity, acceleration and time for a particle and asks questions about calculating values of these variables at specific times or when other variables meet certain criteria. The questions require setting up and solving equations of motion to determine position, velocity, acceleration and distance traveled under different conditions.

Kinematics of particle

1 The motion of the particle is defined by the relation x=t3-6t2+9t+5, where x is expressed in
meter and t in sec. Determine,
a. when velocity is zero [1s,3s]
b. the position, acceleration and total distance travelled when t=5s
[25m, 18m/s2, 28m]

2 The motion of the particle is defined by the relation a= 9t+5, where ‘a’ is expressed in
m/s2and t in s. At t = 0, v = 2m/s and x = 5m.
a. Write equations of motion [v=4.5t2+5t+2, x=1.5t3+2.5t2+2t+5]
b. Determine the position, velocity and acceleration at t=4s
[149m, 94m/s,41m/s2]

3 The acceleration of the particle is defined by the relation a = -2 m/s2. Initially if velocity (vo)=
8m/s and position (xo)= 3 m, determine the position, velocity and the total distance travelled
at the instant of 6s. [15m, -4m/s, 20m]

4 The relationship between velocity of a particle and time is expressed as v = -3t2 +18t. How
far the particle would travel between t=4s and t=10s and what will be the acceleration at these
two times? [236m, -6m/s2, -42 m/s2]

5 The acceleration of the particle is defined by the relation a = 9-3t2. The particle starts at t=0 with v=0
and x=15m. Determine,
a. the time when velocity is again zero [3s]
b. the position and velocity when t=4s [23m, -28m/s]
c. the total distance traveled by the particle from t=0 to t=4s [32.5m]

6 The acceleration of a particle is defined by the relation a = 25 − 3 x 2 , where a is expressed in


mm/sec2 and x in mm. The particle starts with no initial velocity at the position x = 0.
Determine
a. the velocity when x = 2 mm [9.165 mm/s]
b. the position where the velocity is again zero [± 5 mm]
c. the position where the velocity is maximum. [2.89 mm]

7 The acceleration of the particle is directly proportional to time t. At t=0, the velocity of the
particle is 400mm/s. Knowing that v= 360mm/s and x= 500mm when t= 1s, determine the
velocity, the position and the total distance traveled when t= 7s.
[17.64m/s, 41.54m, 41.160m]
8 The acceleration of the particle is defined by the relation a=-kx -2. The particle starts with no initial
velocity at x=800 mm and it is observed that its velocity is 6m/s when x=500 mm. Determine,
a. the value of k [24m3/s2]
b. the velocity of the particle when x=250 mm.[11.49m/s]

9 The velocity of the particle is defined by the relation v=8-0.02x. Knowing that x=0 at t=0 determine,
a. the total distance traveled before the particle come to rest. [400m]
b. the acceleration at t=0 [-0.16 m/s2]
c. the time when x=100m [14.38s]
