- The motion of a particle is defined by the parametric equations ax =0.8t, ay =2–0.3t, az =5 where “a” is in m/s2 and t in seconds.The particle is at rest and is placed at the origin at t = 0. What is the acceleration of the particle after 10 seconds? What is the velocity of the particle after 10 seconds?arrow_forwardDynamics of Rigid Bodies - Mechanical Engineering A particle which moves with curvilinear motion has coordinates in millimeters which vary with the time t in seconds according to x = 6.0t^2 - 6.7t and y = 1.3t^2-t^3/5.5. Determine the magnitudes of the velocity v and acceleration a and the angles which these vectors make with the x-axis when t = 3.3 s. Subject: Mechanical Engineeringarrow_forwardA ball is suspended from a light 1.4 m string as shown. The string makes an angle of 28 degrees with the vertical. The ball is then kicked up and to the right such that the string remains taut the entire time the ball swings upwards. This kick gives the ball an initial velocity of 1.1 m/s. What will be the speed, in meters per second, of the ball when it reaches its lowest point (θ = 0)? What will be the maximum angle, in degrees, the string will make with the vertical?arrow_forward
- Q No 1: The position of a particle moving along the x-axis is given by x=A+B t3, where A=9.75 cm and B=1.50cm/s3.consider the time interval t=2 to t=3s and calculate (a).the average velocity; (b).the instantaneous velocity at t=2s;(c). the instantaneous velocity at t=3s;(d). the instantaneous velocity at t=2.5s;(e). the instantaneous velocity when the particle is midway between its positions at t=2s and t=3s.arrow_forwardA stone is thrown vertically upward from the ground with a velocity of 48.3ft/sec. One second later, another stone is thrown vertically upward with avelocity of 96.6 ft/sec. How far above the ground will the stones be at thesame level?The car is traveling at 48 km/h when the traffic light 90 mahead turns yellow. The driver takes one second to reactbefore he applies the brakes.(a) After he applies the brakes, what constant rate ofdeceleration will cause the car to come to a stop just asit reached the light?(b) How long does it take the car to travel the 90 m? Pls show complete handwritten solution, including all the pertinent solutions. Thanksss! ❤️arrow_forwardThe spatial motion of a particle is described by? = 3? 2 + 4? ? = −4? 2 + 3? ? = −6? + 9where the coordinates are measured in feet and the time t is in seconds. (a) Determine the velocity and acceleration vectors of the particle as functions of time. (b) Verify that the particle is undergoing plane motion (the motion is not in a coordinate plane) by showing that the unit vector perpendicular to the plane formed by v and a is constant.arrow_forward
- Consider two autonomous vehicles driving in two adjacent lanes as shown in the figure. One is at the rear part of the other at a blind angle. Both cars are driving at 65 miles/hour. If the front car starts to change lane as shown in the figure, a) How far a car can travel in one second with the mentioned speed?b) How much time the V2V communications can have before the two cars collide? c) If the GPS position has an error of one meter, what would be the error margin (minimum, maximum of the time duration before collision) of the result obtained in Part a), d) Provide your suggestions how to improve the positioning accuracy of GPS?e) In your view, what type of sensors could be integrated with GPS to avoid collision?arrow_forwardQuestion 1 The velocity of a particle which moves along the s-axis is given by s˙ = 53 - 8t2 m/s where t is in seconds. Calculate the displacement Δs of the particle during the interval from t = 0.7 s to t = 3.3 s.arrow_forwardTests reveal that a normal driver takes about 0.75 s before he or she can react to a situation to avoid a collision. It takes about 3 s for a driver having 0.1% alcohol in his system to do the same. If such drivers are traveling on a straight road at 30 mph (44 ft/s) and their cars can decelerate at 2 ft/s^2, determine the shortest stopping distance d for each from the moment they see the pedestrians.arrow_forward
- Some asteroid is moving towards a base in space, such that the base is positioned on the xaxis and is 2000 meters wide on the xaxis. This asteroid, moving at 500 m/s along the yaxis, is on a collision course targeted at the center of the base. However, explosives are planted on the asteroid, which makes it explode into two separate pieces. The two separate pieces of a mass of m and 2m. 1. Please draw the trajectory of the CM of the asteroid as well as the system after the explosion (with the two separate masses). 2. At the same time, the two split pieces of asteroid reach the base. The piece with mass, m, passes by the right side of the bass at 1800m from the edge of the bass. Will the asteroid piece with mass, 2m, hit the base? Please prove if it will or will not. 3. The asteroid piece of mass, m, will be moving at a direction that is makes a 30 degree angle along the x axis, and its speed will be 1000 m/s.
