Problem 1
A particle moves along a straight line with a velocity v= 400 – 6 t2
in millimeters per second given by , where t is in seconds.
Calculate the net displacement Δs and total distance D travelled
during the first 6 seconds of motion.
Problem 2
A car starts from rest with an acceleration of 6 m/sec2 which
decreases linearly with time to zero in 10 seconds, after which the
car continues at a constant speed. Determine the time t required
for the car to travel 400 m from the start.
Problem 3
The body falling with speed vo strikes and maintains contact with
the platform supported by a nest of springs. The acceleration of
the body after impact is a= g-cy, where c is a positive constant
and y is measured from the original platform position. If the
maximum compression of the springs is observed to be ym ,
determine the constant c.
Problem 4
Determine the maximum speed for each car if the
normal acceleration is limited to 0.88g. The roadway
is unbanked and level.
Problem 5
The car C increases its speed at the constant rate of 1.5
m/sec2 as it rounds the curve shown. If the magnitude of the
total acceleration of the car is 2.5 m/sec2 at the point A where
the radius of curvature is 200 m, compute the speed v of the
car at this point.
Problem 7
A football player releases a ball with the initial conditions
shown in the figure. Determine the radius of curvature of the
trajectory (a) just after release and (b) at the apex. For each
case, compute the time rate of change of the speed.
Vo=0.3048m/sec
Problem 8
A projectile is launched with an initial speed of 200 m/s
at an angle of 60o with respect to the horizontal.
Compute the range R as measured up the incline.
Problem 9
A rock is thrown horizontally from a tower at A and hits
the ground 3.5 s later at B. The line of sight from A to B
makes an angle of 50o with the horizontal. Compute the
magnitude of the initial velocity u of the rock.
Problem 10
The position of the slider P in the rotating slotted arm OA is
controlled by a power screw as shown. Determine the r- and
-components of the acceleration of P. 8rad / sec 2 , 20rad / sec 2
