An accelerometer record for the motion of a given part of a mechanism is approximated by an arc of a parabola for 0.2 s and a straight line for the next 0.2 s as shown in the figure. Knowing that v = 0 when t= 0 and x= 0.8 ft when t= 0.4 s, (a) construct the v-t curve for 0 ≤ t≤ 0.4 s, (b) determine the position of the part at t= 0.3 s and t= 0.2 s.
A commuter train traveling at 40 mi/h is 3 mi from a station. The train then decelerates so that its speed is 20 mi/h when it is 0.5 mi from the station. Knowing that the train arrives at the station 7.5 min after beginning to decelerate and assuming constant decelerations, determine (a) the time required for the train to travel the first 2.5 mi, (b) the speed of the train as it arrives at the station, (c) the final constant deceleration of the train.
At an intersection, car B was traveling south and car A was traveling 30° north of east when they slammed into each other. Upon investigation it was found that after the crash the two cars got stuck and skidded off at an angle of 10° north of east. Each driver claimed that he was going at the speed limit of 50 km/h and that he tried to slow down but couldn’t avoid the crash because the other driver was going a lot faster. Knowing that the masses of cars A and B were 1500 kg and 1200 kg, respectively, determine (a) which car was going faster, (b) the speed of the faster of the two cars if the slower car was traveling at the speed limit.
Cars A and B are traveling in adjacent highway lanes and at t = 0 s have the position and velocity shown. If vA = 11.2 km/h , vB = 26 km/h , S = 981 m, and knowing that car A has a constant acceleration of 0.62 m/s2 and that B has a constant deceleration of 0.26 m/s2, determine the relative position of car B with respect to car A at the moment the velocity of car B is zero. Round off your final answer to three decimal places.
A Based on observations, the speed of a jogger can be approximated by the relation v = 6.4 (1 − 0.03x)0.4 , where v and x are expressed in mi/h and miles, respectively. Knowing that x = 0 at t = 0, determine (a) the distance the jogger has run when t =1.5 h, (b) the jogger’s acceleration in ft/s2 at t = 0, (c) the time required for the jogger to run 5 mi.
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.
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.
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.
To study the performance of a race car, a high-speed camera is positioned at point A. The camera is mounted on a mechanism which permits it to record the motion of the car as the car travels on straightaway BC. It took 0.5 s for the car to travel from the position θ = 60° to the position θ = 35°. Knowing that b = 24 m, determine the average speed of the car during the 0.5-s interval. The average speed of the car during the 0.5-s interval is ______ km/h.
In a boat race , boat A is leading boat B by 45.8m and both boats are travelling at a constant speed of 135 kph. At t=0, the boats accelerate at constant rates. Knowing that when B passes A, t=8s and boat A is moving at 236.2 kph, determine the relative position (m) of B with respect to A at 13s. Round off only on the final answer expressed in 3 decimal places.
Two automobiles A and B are approaching each other in adjacent highway lanes. At t= 0, A and B are 3200 ft apart, their speeds are VA = 65 mi/h and VB = 40 mi/h, and they are at points P and Q , respectively. Knowing that A passes point Q 40 s after B was there and that B passes point P 42 s after A was there, determine (a ) the uniform accelerations of A and B,(b) when the vehicles pass each other, (c) the speed of B at that time.
