Traveling from city A to city B, a train accelerates from rest at 0.012 m/s2 for 23.0 min, then maintains its speed for the next 51.0 min. It then begins decelerating at 0.069 m/s2, until stopping in city B. How far (in kilometers) is city A from city B?
An automobile starting from rest speeds up to 12 m/s with a constant acceleration of1.2 m/s2. Runs at fast speed for some time, and finally comes to rest with adeceleration of 1.5 m/s2. If the total distance travelled is 390 m, find the totaltime required. Draw the v-t and s-t curves.
A train starts from rest at station A and accelerates at 0.5 m/s^2 for 60 s. Afterwards it travels with a constant velocity for 15 min. It then decelerates at 1 m/s^2 until it is brought to rest at station B. Determine the distance between the stations.
A car and a truck are both traveling at the constant speed of 35 mi/h; the car is 40 ft behind the truck. The driver of the car wants to pass the truck, i.e., he wishes to place his car at B , 40 ft in front of the truck, and then resume the speed of 35 mi/h. The maximum acceleration of the car is 5 ft/s2 and the maximum deceleration obtained by applying the brakes is 20 ft/s2. What is the shortest time in which the driver of the car can complete the passing operation if he does not at any time exceed a speed of 50 mi/h? Draw the v-t curve.
