Module 2 - Rectilinear Motion

This document provides an overview of rectilinear motion of particles and rigid bodies. It begins by defining rectilinear motion as straight-line motion and illustrates examples of rectilinear motion for particles and bodies. It then presents the kinematic equations of motion for rectilinear motion with constant acceleration, including equations for displacement, velocity, acceleration, and their relationships. The document solves several example problems applying these equations and concepts to calculate values like time, displacement, velocity, etc. at various points in rectilinear motions. It concludes by listing additional resources on the topics covered.

Rectilinear Motion o
a Particle

Rectilinear Motion of a Particle


• To define the rectilinear motion
• To learn the Kinematics equations of motion
• To understand the Newton’s law of motion

Rectilinear Motion of a Particle


Rectilinear motion is another name for straight-line motion.
This type of motion describes the movement of a particle or a
body.

A body is said to experience rectilinear motion if any two


particles of the body travel the same distance along two
parallel straight lines. The figures below illustrate rectilinear
motion for a particle and body.

1. On a certain stretch of track, trains run
at 60 kph. How far back of a stopped train
should a warning torpedo be placed to
signal an on coming train? Assume that
the brakes are applied at once and retard
the train at the uniform rate of 2 ft. per
second?
Rectilinear Motion of a Particle
V = 60 kph = 60,000 mph
V = 60,000 mph / 3600 = 16.67 m/s =
16.67(3.28)
V = 54.68 fps

0= + 2(2)S
S = 747.48 ft.

2. A stone is thrown vertically upward and
returns to earth in 10 sec.
a) What was its initial velocity?
b)How high did it go?
c) At what time did it travel until it reaches
the highest point?

Rectilinear Motion of a Particle


a) Initial velocity
V2 = V1 – gt1
0 = V1 – gt1
t 1 = V1 / g

(b) How high did it (c) Time it reaches
go the highest point

t = V1/g
t = 49.05 / 9.81
t = 5 sec.

h = 122.63 m

A ball is dropped from the top of a tower 80 ft high
at the same instant that a second ball is thrown
upward from the ground with an initial velocity of
40 fps.
a) When do they pass each other
b) Where do they pass each other
c) With what relative velocity will they pass

Rectilinear Motion of a Particle


a) When the two balls pass each
other.

40t = 80; t = 2 secs.


Rectilinear Motion of a Particle
b) Where they pass each other

Rectilinear Motion of a Particle


C) Relative velocity

V2 = Vo + gt
V2 = 0+ 32.2 (2)
V2 = 64.4 fps (vel. of ball downward)

S = 80 – 64.4 = 15.6 ft.

Rectilinear Motion of a Particle


C) Relative velocity
V22 = V12 – 2 gS
V22 = (40)2 – 2 (32.2) (15.6)
V2 = 24.4 fps (vel. of ball upward)

Relative Velocity:
V = 64.4 – 24.4
V = 40 fps

4) A ball is dropped down a well and 5 seconds later the
sound of the splash is heard. If the velocity of sound is
330 m/sec.
a) What is the depth of the well?
b) What is the time for the ball to reach the water
surface?
c) What is the time for the sound to travel the distance
equal to the depth of the well.

Rectilinear Motion of a Particle


S = Vt
a) Depth of the well S = 330 t2
t1 = time for the ball to travel a distance S t2 = S/330
t2 = time for the sound to travel a distance S.
t1 + t2 = 5 (Eq. 1) Substitute in equation 1
t 1 + t2 = 5
h = S = ½ g t 12

S + 149S1/2 – 1650 = 0

Rectilinear Motion of a Particle


b) T for the ball to reach the
water surface.

Let y2 = S
y2 -149y – 1650 = 0

Y = 10.25
S = y2
c) t for the sound to travel the
S = 10.252 distance equal to the depth of
S = 107.2m the well.
t2 = 5 – 4.67
t2 = 0.33 sec.

5) A stone is dropped from a balloon at an elevation of
300m. Two seconds later another stone is projected
vertically upward from the ground with a velocity of 75
m/sec.
a) When will the stones pass each other?
b) Where will the stones pass each other from the
ground?
c) Compute the time travelled by the stone from the
ground until they pass each other.
a) Time the stones will pass each other

t = time travelled by the stone from the balloon until the


stones pass each other
t – 2 = time travelled by the stone from the ground until they
pass each other
S = distance travelled by the stone from the balloon
300 – S = distance travelled by the stone from the ground
S = Vot + ½ gt2 = 0 + ½ (9.81)t2
S = 4.905t2 ------ (1)
300 – S = 75 (t - 2) – ½ (9.81)(t-2)2 ------ (2)

Substitute 1 to 2
300 – 4.905t2 = 75 (t – 2) – 4.905 (t2 – 4t + 4)
300 – 4.905t2 = 75t – 150 – 4.905t2 + 19.62t – 19.62
469.62 = 94.62t
t = 4.963 sec
b) Distance the stones pass each other from the ground
S = 4.905 t2
S = 4.905 (4.963)2
S = 120.8 m from the balloon

300 – S = 300 – 120.8


= 179.2m from the ground
c) Time travelled by the stone from the ground until they pass
each other

t2 = t -2
t2 = 4.963 -2
t2 = 2.963 seconds
6) A stone thrown upward from the ground with a velocity of
15 m/s. One second later another stone is thrown vertically
upwards with a velocity of 30 m/s
a) When will the stone be at the same level?
b) How far above the ground will the stones be at the same
level?
c) Determine the time the second stone travelled until the
stones are at the same level.
