An inexperienced designer of a roadbed for a new high-speed train proposes to join a straight section of track to a circular section of 1000-ft radius as shown. For a train that would travel at a constant speed of 90 mi/hr, plot the magnitude of its accel- eration as a function of distance along the track between points A and C and explain why this de- sign is unacceptable. 1 1 | 1 | B A 1000' C

A train travels along a circular track having a radiusof 2000 ft. If the speed of the train is uniformly increased from 6 mi/h to 8 mi/hin 1 min, determine the magnitude of the acceleration when the speed of the trainis 7 mi/h. 1 mi = 5280 ft.
Determine the maximum constant speed a race car can have if the acceleration of the car cannot exceed 7.5 m/s^2 while rounding a track having a radius of curvature of 200 m.
During a fast and the furious filming, two cars A and B start from rest at the origins=0 and move along a straight line such that aA = (6t − 3)ft/s2, and aB = (12t2 − 8)ft/s2, where t is in seconds. a.) Determine the distance between them when t=4s and the b.) Total distance each has traveled in t =4s. PLS SOLVE COMPLETE SOLUTION
Car A is moving with constant speed v on the straight and level highway. The police officer in the stationary car P attempts to measure the speed v with radar. If the radar measures “line-of sight” velocity, what velocity v' will the officer observe? Evaluate your general expression for the values v = 74 mi/hr, L = 605 ft, and D = 19 ft, and draw any appropriate conclusions.
Q No. 2: A car travel up a hill at the constant speed of 40 km/h and return down the hill at the speed of 60km/h. Calculate the average speed for the round the trip.
A ball tied to the end of a string 1.0 m in length swings in a vertical circle under the influence of gravity. When the string makes an angle of @=30° with the vertical, the ball has a speed of 1.0 m/s. the magnitude of the total acceleration a at @=30° lis
A subway car leaves station A; it gains speed at the rate of 4 ft/s² for 6 s and then at the rate of 6 ft/s² until it has reached the speed of 48 ft/s. The car maintains the same speed until it approaches station B; brakes are then applied, giving the car a constant deceleration and bringing it to a stop in 6 s. The total running time from A to B is 40 s. Determine the distance between stations A and B. . Do not type the solution. Show the complete computation/solution with the necessary graphs or diagrams.
Steep safety ramps are built beside mountain highways to enable vehicles with defective brakes to stop. A 10-ton truck enters a 15° ramp at a high speed v0 = 108 ft/s and travels for 6 s before its speed is reduced to 36 ft/s. Assuming constant deceleration, determine (a) the magnitude of the braking force, (b) the additional time required for the truck to stop. Neglect air resistance and rolling resistance.
Applying principles of dynamics A freighter is moving at a speed of 8 nautical miles per hour. The engines then had to be suddenly stopped. If it takes 10 minutes for the freighter to reduce its speed to 3 knots, determine the distance moved by the ship and its speed at the end of this interval. The deceleration of the ship is propor-tional to the square of its speed such that a = -kV^2.
The contour of a highway dip is represented by the equation y= -20 sin πx/200 (ft). It would be dangerous for an automobile of weight W lb to have mor than 3W/2 lb on the springs at any time. Determine the safe velocity V for this dip at midpoint. Let W = 3000 lb and the total length of the dip is 200 ft.
A truck is traveling south at a speed of 70 km/h toward an intersection. A car is traveling east toward the intersection at a speed of 80 km/h. The direction of the car to the truck is estimated as
An uncontrolled automobile traveling at 45 mph strikes a highway crash barrier square on. After initially hitting the barrier the automobile decelerates at a rate proportional to the distance x the automobile has moved into the barrier, that is, a = -60x1/2 , where a and x are expressed in ft/s2and ft, respectively. Determine the distance the automobile will move into the barrier before it comes to rest. (Draw the diagram)
