- 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.arrow_forwardA snowboarder starts from rest at the top of a double black diamond hill. As she rides down the slope, GPS coordinates are used to determine her displacement as a function of time: x = 0.5t^3 + t^2 + 2t, where x and t are expressed in feet and seconds, respectively. x is measured along the surface of the hill. Determine the position, velocity, and acceleration of the boarder when t = 5 seconds.

- 10. The angular momentum of a particle about point A in a reference frame is defined as r dot mv where r is the radius vector from point A to the particle position, m is the particle mass, and v is the particle velocity. True Falsearrow_forwardA particle is moving with an acceleration of (2t)i + (10)j (m/s2). How many initial conditions must be specified in order to obtain a time-dependent expression for the particle position? A particle is moving with an acceleration of (2t)i + (10)j (m/s2). How many initial conditions must be specified in order to obtain a time-dependent expression for the particle position? Two: initial velocity and initial position One: initial velocity One: initial position None: initial conditions are not needed to create a time-dependent expression for particle position.arrow_forwardA snowboarder starts from rest at the top of a double black diamond hill.

- A girl operates a radio-controlled model car in a vacant parking lot. The girl’s position is at the origin of the xy coordinate axes, and the surface of the parking lot lies in the x-y plane. She drives the car in a straight line so that the x coordinate is defined by the relation x(t) = 0.5t3 - 3t2 + 3t2 + 3t + 2, where x and t are expressed in meters and seconds, respectively. Determine (a) when the velocity is zero, (b) the position and total distance travelled when the acceleration is zero.arrow_forwardThree seconds after automobile B passes through the intersection shown in figure for Q. No. 3, automobile A passes through the same intersection. Knowing that the speed of each automobile is constant, determine (a) the relative velocity of B with respect to A, (b) the change in position of B with respect to A during a 4-s interval, (c) the distance between the two automobiles 2s after A has passed through the intersection. Very urgent sir, please solve ASAP.arrow_forwardNon-uniformly acceleratedmotion& Motion Curves 1.. The brake mechanism used to reduce a gun recoil consists of a piston attached to a barrelmoving in the fixed cylinder filled with oil. As the barrel recoils with an initial velocity v0, the piston moves and the oil is forced through the orifices in the piston, causing the piston and the cylinder todecelerate at a rate proportional to their velocities. Determine v (t), x (t), and v (x)arrow_forward
- 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.

A police car observed the automobile. At the instant that the two vehicles are abreast of each other, the police car starts to pursue the automobile at a constant acceleration of 1.96 m/s . The motorist noticed the police car in his rearview mirror 12 s after the police car started the pursuit and applied his brakes and decelerates at 3.05 m/s . (Hint: The police will not go against the law.) a) Find the total time required for the police car to overtake the automobile. b) Find the total distance travelled by the police car while overtaking the automobile. c) Find the speed of the police car a the time it overtakes the automobile. d) Find the speed of theautomobile at the time it was overtaken by the police car.arrow_forward1.
