A particle is moving along a straight line such that its position is defined by s = (10t^2 + 20) mm, where t is in seconds. Determine (a) the displacement of the particle during the time interval from t = 1 s to t = 5 s, (b) the average velocity of the particle during this time interval, and (c) the acceleration when t = 1 s.
The average velocity from t = 1 s to t = 5 s is Vavg = △s / △ t = [s (5) - s (1)] / [ (5) - (1)] = [{10(5)^2 +20} – {10(1)^2 +20}] / 4 = 60 mm/s Differentiate the given position function to determine the velocity. V = ds / dt V = d (10t^2 + 20) / dt V = 20t Integrate the velocity from t = 1 s to t = 5 s to find the displacement during this interval. △s = (^) ∫ 1 5 v (^ t )^ dt △s = (^) ∫ 1 5 ( 20 t ) dt △s = 10t^2 |^51 △s = 10(5^2 - 1^2 ) △ s = 240 mm Differentiate the velocity to determine the acceleration. a = dv/dt a = d (20t) / dt a = 20
Therefore, the acceleration of the particle at t = 1 s is a (1) = 20 mm/s^2
A particle moving along a straight line is subjected to a deceleration a = (-2v^3 ) m/s^2 , where v is in m/s. If it has a velocity v = 8 m/s and a position s = 10 m when t = 0, determine its velocity and position when t = 4 s.
The acceleration of the particle is written as: a = dv / dt -2v^3 = dv / dt (- 1 / 2v^3 ) dv = dt ∫ dt^ =
∫ dv v 3 ¿
t = (1/4v^2 ) + C Putting t = 0 and v = 8 m/s 0 = 1/4*8^2 + C C = -3.906 x 10- Now, t = (1/4v^2 ) + C 4 = (1/4v^2 ) + -3.906 x 10- v = 0.25 m/s Putting C = 0 in t = (1/4v^2 ) + C, v becomes v = 1 / sqrt (4t)
As the acceleration is not constant, we will need to integrate our acceleration to figure out the velocity. To do so, we will need to use the following equation: ads = vdv Take the integral of both sides: ∫ s 0 s ads =∫ v 0 v v dv ∫ 0 s ( 6 +0.02 s )=∫ v 0 v vdv (6s + 0.02s^2 / 2) |s 0 = (v^2 /2) |v 0 (6s + 0.02s^2 / 2) = (v^2 /2) v = sqrt (12s + 0.02s^2 ) When the height is 2000 m, the velocity is:
v = sqrt [12(2000) +0.02(2000)^2 ] v = 322.5 m/s To find the time, remember that: v = ds/dt dt = ds / v ∫ 0 t dt =∫ 0 s ds / v ∫ 0 t dt = (^) ∫ 0 2000 ds / (^) √( 12 s +¿ 0.02 s 2 )¿ Solving for t we get: t = 19.27s
A particle is moving with a velocity of v 0 when s = 0 and t = 0. If it is subjected to a deceleration of a = -kv^3 , where k is a constant, determine its velocity and position as time functions.
Expressing the velocity of a particle as a function of time dv = adt dv = (-kv^3 ) dt dv /v^3 = (-k) dt ∫ v 0 v dt / v 3 =− k ∫ 0 t dt (-1/2) [v-2^ – v 0 -2] = -kt v (t) = sqrt [1/ {2kt + (1/v 0 2)}] Expressing the position of a particle as a function of time
When a rocket reaches an altitude of 40 m it begins to travel along the parabolic path (y- 40)^2 = 160x, where the coordinates are measured in meters. If the component of velocity in the vertical direction is constant at vy = 180 m/s, determine the magnitudes of the rocket’s velocity and acceleration when it reaches an altitude of 80 m.
Given: h 1 = 40m, h 2 = 80m, v 0 = 180m/s, b = 160m y - h 12 = bx 2(y - h 1 ) vy = bvx bax = 2vy^2 vx2 = (2/b) (h 2 – h 1 ) v 0 vx2 = (2/160) (80 – 40) (180) = 240 m/s ax2 = (2/b) v 02 ax2 = (2/160) (180)^2 = 405 m/s^2
vy2 = v 0 = 180 m/s v 2 = sqrt (vx2^2 + vy2^2 ) v 2 = sqrt (240^2 + 180^2 ) = 201.246 m/s ay2 = 0 a 2 = sqrt (ax2^2 + ay2^2 ) a 2 = sqrt (0^2 + 405^2 ) = 405 m/s^2

Consider the equation for the position of the motorcycle on the sinusoidal portion of the rod: y = c sin(πx/L) Differentiate y with respect to time t. vy = dy/dt vy = (dy/dx) (dx/dt) vy = (d/dx) (c sin(πx/L)) (dx/dt) vy = (cπ/L) cos (πx/L) (dx/dt)
Sy is the displacement of the ball in y direction, Sy = h 2 - h 1 Sy = h 2 – h 1 Sy = 3m - 2m Sy = 1m uy is the initial velocity of the ball in y direction uy = VASin 30 uy = 0.5VA t is the time taken by the ball from the point of the projection ay is the acceleration due to gravity in the -ve y direction Now Equation 3 becomes: 1 = 0.5VAt – (1/2) (9.8) t^2 1 = 0.5VAt – 4.5t^2 ----- (4) Now we have R = VA cos 30t 10 = VA 0.87t t = 10 / 0.87VA Putting the value of t in Equation 4 1 = 0.5VA (10/0.87VA) – 4.5(10/0.87VA)^2 0 = -1 + 0.5VA (10/0.87VA) – 4.5(10/0.87VA)^2 Solving for VA we get: VA = 11.68 m/s Applying the equation of y motion for the basketball, Vy^2 – uy^2 = 2aySy
Vy^2 = (0.5VA)^2 - 2 x 9.8 × 1 Vy^2 = (0.5*11.68)^2 - 2 x 9.8 × 1 Vy^2 = 14. Vy = 3.8 m/s Vx = VA cos 30 Vx = 11.68 cos 30 Vx = 10.1 m/s The velocity of the ball when it passes through the basket is found by: VB = sqrt (Vx^2 + Vy^2 ) VB = sqrt (10.1^2 + 3.8^2 ) VB = 10.8 m/s
