As shown in Figure 1, a motorist starts from rest at point A on a circular entrance ramp when t = 0, increases the speed of her automobile at a constant rate and enters the highway at point B. Knowing that her speed continues to increase at the same rate until it reaches 80 km/h at point C, determine (a) the speed at point B, (b) the magnitude of the total acceleration when t = 12 s.

Car A is traveling at 40 mi/h when it enters a 30 mi/h speed zone. The driver of car A decelerates at a rate of 16 ft/s2 until reaching a speed of 30 mi/h, which she then maintains. When car B , which was initially 60 ft behind car A and traveling at a constant speed of 45 mi/h, enters the speed zone, its driver decelerates at a rate of 20 ft/s2 until reaching a speed of 28 mi/h. Knowing that the driver of car B maintains a speed of 28 mi/h, determine (a) the closest that car B comes to car A, (b) the time at which car A is 70 ft in front of car B.
In anticipation of a long 7° upgrade, a bus driver accelerates at a constant rate of 3 ft/s2 while still on a level section of the highway. Knowing that the speed of the bus is 60 mi/h as it begins to climb the grade and that the driver does not change the setting of his throttle or shift gears, determine the distance traveled by the bus up the grade when its speed has decreased to 50 mi/h.
A motorist is traveling on a curved section of highway with a radius of 2500 ft at a speed of 60 mi/h. The motorist suddenly applies the brakes, causing the automobile to slow down at a constant rate. If the speed has been reduced to 45 mi/h after 8 s, determine the acceleration of the automobile immediately after the brakes have been applied.
A motorist starts from rest at point A on a circular entrance ramp when t=0, increases the speed of her automobile at a constant rate and enters the highway at point B. Knowing that her speed continues to increase at the same rate until it reaches 69.06 mph at point C, determine themagnitude of the tangential acceleration (ft/s2) from A to B. Round off only on the final answer expressed in 3 decimal places.
Two highway checkpoints A and B are separated by 12 km. The speed limits for the first 8 km and the last 4 km are 100 km/h and 70 km/h, respectively. Drivers must stop at each checkpoint and the specified time between A and B is 8 min and 20 seconds. Knowing that a car accelerates and decelerates at the same constant value, determine the magnitude of its acceleration if the speed limit is traveled as much as possible.
A motorist starts from rest at point A on a circular entrance ramp when t=0, increases the speed of her automobile at a constant rate and enters the highway at point B. Knowing that her speed continues to increase at the same rate until it reaches 62.5 mph at point C, determine themagnitude of the normal acceleration (ft/s2) at t=10s.
A motorist starts from rest at point A on a circular entrance ramp when t=0, increases the speed of her automobile at a constant rate and enters the highway at point B. Knowing that her speed continues to increase at the same rate until it reaches 62.2 mph at point C, determine the magnitude of the normal acceleration (ft/s2) at t=13s. Round off only on the final answer expressed in 3 decimal places.
Assuming a uniform acceleration of 11 ft/s2 and knowing that the speed of a car as it passes A is 30 mi/h, determine (a) the time required for the car to reach B, (b) the speed of the car as it passes B.
A motorcyclist is moving on a vertical circular path with a radius of 200 m and is accelerating at a rate of 0.4t m/s2 along the path, where t is in seconds. If he starts from rest, determine the tangential acceleration when he moves 60 degrees from the initial point.a. 6.12 m/s2 b. 7.73 m/s2c. 5.86 m/s2 d. 8.24 m/s2
During a manufacturing process, a conveyor belt starts from rest and travels a total of 1.2 ft before temporarily coming to rest. Knowing that the jerk, or rate of change of acceleration, is limited to ±4.8 ft/s2 per second, determine (a) the shortest time required for the belt to move 1.2 ft, (b) the maximum and average values of the velocity of the belt during that time.
Two road rally checkpoints A and B are located on the same highway and are 8 mi apart. The speed limits for the first 5 mi and the last 3 mi are 60 mi/h and 35 mi/h, respectively. Drivers must stop at each checkpoint, and the specified time between points A and B is 10 min 20 s. Knowing that the driver accelerates and decelerates at the same constant rate, determine the magnitude of her acceleration if she travels at the speed limit as much as possible.
Cars A and B are traveling in adjacent highway lanes and at t = 0 s have the position and velocity shown. If vA = 10.1 km/h , vB = 28.1 km/h , S = 973 m, and knowing that car A has a constant acceleration of 0.67 m/s2 and that B has a constant deceleration of 0.24 m/s2, determine the relative velocity of car B with respect to car A at the moment car A overtake car B. Round off your final answer to three decimal places.
