Applied Mechanics (Dynamics)

This document contains a 7 question exam on applied mechanics and dynamics. It includes the following types of questions: 1) Determining the slant distance and time of flight for a projectile launched with initial conditions. 2) Calculating velocity and position given an acceleration relation and experimental velocity values. 3) Finding the acceleration, tension, and other values for two connected blocks on a frictionless plane and pulley. 4) Determining velocities before and after an impact between two balls with given masses and initial velocities. The exam expects concise and clear explanations and shows the full marks available for each question or part. Formulas, diagrams, and step-

1. a. A projectile is launched from point A with the initial conditions 8


shown in the Figure. Determine the slant s which locates the
point B of impact. Calculate the time of flight.

b. The acceleration of a particle is defined by the relation a = - k/x. It

coefficient of restitution e = 0.80. Determine the velocity of ball A,

an identical block A moving at a speed of 5 m/s. considering
successively the cases when the coefficient of restitution between the two
blocks is e = 1 determine (a) the maximum deflection of the spring, (b)
