- A particle moves along a straight line in such a manner that its displacement, at any instant, from a fixed point on its path is given by the question s = 1/10 + (?^3 + 6t^2 + −4 ?)What displacement, velocity and acceleration will the particle attain after 10 seconds?arrow_forwardQ1. A driver enters a curved car at 72 km/h, slows down, causing the speed to drop at a steady rate of 4.5 km/h every second. If the radius of curvature is 16.7 m. Find the acceleration of the car after 4 seconds from the driver starting to slow down.arrow_forwardIn a physics lab experiment, you release a small steelball at various heights above the ground and measure the ball’s speedjust before it strikes the ground. You plot your data on a graph that hasthe release height (in meters) on the vertical axis and the square of thefinal speed (in m2/s2) on the horizontal axis. In this graph your datapoints lie close to a straight line. (a) Using g = 9.80 m/s2 and ignoringthe effect of air resistance, what is the numerical value of the slope ofthis straight line? (Include the correct units.) The presence of air resistancereduces the magnitude of the downward acceleration, and the effectof air resistance increases as the speed of the object increases. Yourepeat the experiment, but this time with a tennis ball as the object beingdropped. Air resistance now has a noticeable effect on the data. (b) Isthe final speed for a given release height higher than, lower than, or thesame as when you ignored air resistance? (c) Is the graph of the releaseheight…arrow_forward
- An airplane starts from rest, travels 5000 ft down a runway, and after uniform acceleration, takes off with a speed of 162 mi/h. It then climbs in a straight line with a uniform acceleration of 3 ft/s^2 until it reaches a constant speed of 220 mi/h. Draw the s–t, v–t, and a–t graphs that describe the motion.arrow_forward11.2 The displacement of a particle is given by s = 2t3 - 43t2 + 118t - 64 where s is in feet and t is in seconds. Plot the displacement, velocity, and acceleration as functions of time for the first 19 seconds of motion. After you have made the plots, answer the questions.arrow_forwardAn electric car is subjected to acceleration tests along a straight and level test track. The resulting v-t data are closely modeled over the first 10 seconds by the function v = 24t - t2 +5t1/2, where t is the time in seconds and v is the velocity in feet per second. Determine the displacement s as a function of time over the interval 0 ≤ t ≤ 10 sec and specify its value at the indicated times.arrow_forward

Calculate the displacement Ax of the particle during the interval from t=2sec to = 4 sec.arrow_forwardThe position of a particle is given by s = 0.27t3 - 0.76t2 - 2.44t + 5.13, where s is in feet and the time t is in seconds. Plot the displacement, velocity, and acceleration as functions of time for the first 9 seconds of motion. After you have the plots, answer the questions as a check on your work.arrow_forwardFrom experimental data, the motion of the jet plane while travelling along a runway is defined by v-t graph as shown in Figure 4.3. Calculate the velocity V1 if the total distance travelled is 2800 m.arrow_forward

Determine the radial and transverse components of the aircraft’s acceleration and velocityat t = 1s. Take note that θ is in radians and t is in seconds.
