ENGINEERING MECHANICS-II ASSIGNMENT-1 CHAPTER-1- KINEMATICS TOTAL MARKS-100

Each questions carry equal marks

1. The velocity of a particle is given by v = 25t2 − 80t − 200, where v is in m/s 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.

2. The acceleration of a particle is given by a = −kt2, where a is in meters per second squared
and the
time t is in seconds. If the initial velocity of the particle at t= 0 is v0 = 12 m /s and the particle
takes 6 seconds to reverse direction, determine the magnitude and units of the constant k. What
is the net displacement of the particle over the same 6-second interval of motion?

3. Ball 1 is launched with an initial vertical velocity v1 = 160 m/s. Three seconds later, ball 2
is launched with an initial vertical velocity v2. Determine v2 if the balls are to collide at an
altitude of
300 m. At the instant of collision, is ball 1 ascending or descending?

Figure 1.
4. In the pinewood-derby event shown, the car is released from rest at the starting position A
and then rolls down the incline and on to the finish line C. If the constant acceleration down
the incline is 2.75 m /s2. and the speed from B to C is essentially constant, determine the time
duration tAC for the race. The effects of the small transition area at B can be neglected.

5. A ball is thrown vertically up with a velocity of 30 m /s at the edge of a 60-m cliff. Calculate
the height h to which the ball rises and the total time t after release for the ball to reach the
bottom of the cliff. Neglect air resistance and take the downward acceleration to be 9.81 m /s2.

Figure 3.

6. The curvilinear motion of a particle is defined by v x = 50 − 16t and y = 100 − 4t2, where vx
is in meters per second, y is in meters, and t is in seconds. It is also known that x = 0 when t =
0. Plot the path of the particle and determine its velocity and acceleration when the position y
= 0 is reached.

7. For a certain interval of motion the pin A is forced to move in the fixed parabolic slot by the
horizontal slotted arm which is elevated in the y-direction at the constant rate of 3 in. /sec. All
measurements are in inches and seconds. Calculate the velocity v and acceleration a of pin A
when x = 6 in.

8. The electronic throttle control of a model train is programmed so that the train speed varies
with position as shown in the plot. Determine the time t required for the train to complete one
lap.

9. The aerodynamic resistance to motion of a car is nearly proportional to the square of its
velocity. Additional frictional resistance is constant, so that the acceleration of the car when
coasting may be written a =−C1 – C2v2, where C1 and C2 are constants which depend on the
mechanical configuration of the car. If the car has an initial velocity v0 when the engine is
disengaged, derive an expression for the distance D required for the car to coast to a stop.

Figure 6.

10. The driver of a car, which is initially at rest at the top A of the grade, releases the brakes
and coasts down the grade with an acceleration in feet per second squared given by a = 3.22 −
0.004v2, where v is the velocity in feet per second. Determine the velocity vB at the bottom B
of the grade.

N.B.- 1. Solve each problems of the assignment on separate A4 paper.

2. After solution take snap of the solutions separately and make one Pdf file of that.

3. Upload the pdf file in the google classroom and also keep the hardcopies with you

4. Date of submission without delay-08-02-2025.
