At the instant shown, A has a speed of 60ft/sand is increasing its speed at the rate of 15 ft/s2 until it travels for a distance of 100π ft, after which it maintains a constant speed. Car B has a speed of 120ft/s and is decreasing its speed at 15 ft/s2 until it travels a distance of 65π ft, after which it maintains a constant speed. Determine the time when they come side by side.

- The particle travels along the path defined by the parabola y = 0.6x² . If the component of velocity along the x axis is vx = (5t) ft/s, where t is in seconds, determine the particle’s distance from the origin O and the magnitude of its acceleration when t = 2 s. When t = 0, x = 0, y = 0arrow_forwardThe sprinter begins from rest at position A and accelerates along the track. If the stationary tracking camera at O is rotating counterclockwise at the rate of 9.2 deg/s when the sprinter passes the 70-m mark, determine the speed v of the sprinter and the value of r˙arrow_forwardA particle travels around a circular path having a radius of 50 m. If it is initially traveling with a speed of 10 m/s and its speed then increases at a rate of v= (0.05 v) m/s^2, determine the magnitude of the particle’s acceleration four seconds later.arrow_forward
- At the instant shown, cars A and B travel at speeds of 70 mi/h and 50 mi/h, respectively. If B is increasing its speed by 1100 mi/h², while A maintains a constant speed, determine the velocity and acceleration of B with respect to A. Car B moves along a curve having a radius of curvature of 0.7 mi.arrow_forwardThe car travels around the portion of a circular track having a radius of r = 500 ft such that when it is at point A it has a velocity of 2 ft/s, which is increasing at the rate of a = 0.002t in ft/s, where t is in seconds. Determine the magnitudes of its velocity and acceleration when it has travelled three-fourths the way around the track.arrow_forwardAt the instant shown, car A travels with a speed of 22 m/s , which is decreasing at a constant rate of 2 m/s2 , while car C travels with a speed of 15 m/s , which is increasing at a constant rate of 3 m/s2 . Suppose that r = 250 m and a = 160 marrow_forward
- The race car travels around the circular track with a speed of 16 m/s. When it reaches point A it increases its speed at (0.75v^0.25) m/s^2 , where v is in m/s. Determine the magnitudes of the velocity and acceleration of the car when it reaches point B. Also, how much time is required for it to travel from A to B?arrow_forwardA car is traveling at a constant speed of 54 km/h when its driver sees a child run into the road. The driver applies her brakes until the child returns to the sidewalk and then accelerates to resume her original speed of 54 km/h; the acceleration record of the car is shown in the figure. Assuming x= 0 when t= 0, determine (a) the time t1 at which the velocity is again 54 km/h, (b) the position of the car at that time, (c) the average velocity of the car during the interval 1 s ≤ t≤ t1.arrow_forwardAt the instant shown, car A has a speed of 20 km/h, which is being increased at the rate of 300 km/h^2, as the car enters the expressway. At the same instant, car B is decelerating at 250 km/h^2, while travelling forward at 100 km/h.Determine the velocity and acceleration of A with respect to B.arrow_forward
- A helicopter starts from rest at point A and travels along the straight-line path with a constant acceleration a. If the speed v = 33 m/s when the altitude of the helicopter is h = 40 m, determine the values of r˙, r¨, θ˙, and θ¨ as measured by the tracking device at O. At this instant, θ = 34°, and the distance d = 185 m.

If the component of velocity along the x axis is vx = (2t) m/s, where t is in seconds, determine the components of its acceleration when t = 1 s.arrow_forward
