This document contains 10 problems related to rectilinear motion. The problems involve calculating and plotting velocity and acceleration over time, determining deceleration rates from changes in speed, calculating time of flight for vertically projected objects, determining position and velocity at given times, and calculating launch times and relative velocities for simultaneously exploding rockets. Engineering lettering is required for diagrams and solutions.

RECTILINEAR MOTION
(USE ENGINEERING LETTERING)

Problem No. 1

The velocity of a particle is given by v = 20t2- 100t + 50, where v is in meters per second and t is in seconds.
Plot the velocity v and acceleration a versus time for the first 6 seconds of motion and evaluate the velocity
when a is zero.

Problem No. 2

Initially, the car travels along a straight road with a speed of 35 m/s. If the brakes are applied and the speed
of the car is reduced to 10 m/s in 15 s, determine the constant deceleration of the car.

Problem No. 3

A ball is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 15 m/s. Determine the time of flight when it returns to its
original position.

Problem No. 4

A particle travels along a straight line with a velocity of v = (4t - 3t2) m/s, where t is in seconds. Determine
the position of the particle when t = 4s. s = 0 when t = 0

Problem No. 5

The motion of a particle is defined by the relation x =t4 -10t2 +8t + 12, where x and t are expressed in inches
and seconds, respectively. Determine the position, the velocity, and the acceleration of the particle when t=1
s.

Problem No.6

The motion of a particle is defined by the relation x = 2t3 - 15t2 + 24t + 4, where x is expressed in meters
and t in seconds. Determine (a) when the velocity is zero (b) the position and the total distance traveled
when the acceleration is zero.

Problem No. 7

A stone is thrown vertically upward from a point on a bridge located 40 m above the water. Knowing that it
strikes the water 4 s after release, determine (a) the speed with which the stone was thrown upward, (b) the
speed with which the stone strikes the water.

Problem No. 8

A sprinter in a 100-m race accelerates uniformly for the first 35 m and then runs with constant velocity. If
the sprinter’s time for the first 35 m is 5.4 s, determine (a) his acceleration, (b) his final velocity, (c) his time
for the race.

Problem No. 9-10

Two rockets are launched at a fireworks display. Rocket A is launched with an initial velocity v0 = 100 m/s
and rocket B is launched t1 s later with the same initial velocity. The two rockets are timed to explode
simultaneously at a height of 300 m as A is falling and B is rising. Assuming a constant acceleration g
= 9.81 m/s2, determine (a) the time t1, (b) the velocity of B relative to A at the time of the explosion.
