PROBLEM SET # 1
DISPLACEMENT, VELOCITY & ACCELERATION

Instruction: Answer the following problems. Show your solutions.

1. A sphere is fired downwards into a medium with an initial speed of 27m/s. If


it experiences a deceleration of a=6t m/s 2, where t is in seconds, determine
the distance traveled before it stops.
2. Ball A is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity of Vo. Ball B is thrown
upwards from the same point with the same velocity t seconds later.
Determine the elapsed time t< 2 Vo./g from the instant ball A is thrown to
when the balls pass each other, and find the velocity of each ball at this
instant.
3. A freight train starts from rest and travels with a constant acceleration of
0.5ft/s2. After a time t’ it maintains a constant speed so that when t =160s it
has traveled 2000 ft. Determine the time t’ and draw the v–t graph for the
motion.
4. Two rockets start from rest at the same elevation. Rocket A accelerates
vertically at 20 m/s2 for 12 s and then maintains a constant speed. Rocket B
accelerates at 15 m/s2 until reaching a constant speed of 150 m/s2.
Construct the a–t, v–t, and s–t graphs for each rocket until t = 20 s. What is
the distance between the rockets when t = 20 s?
5. The jet car is originally traveling at a velocity of 10 m/s when it is subjected
to the acceleration shown. Determine the car’s maximum velocity and the
time t’ when it stops. When t = 0, s = 0.
6. A 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= (0.005v) m/s2 , determine the magnitude of the particle’s
acceleration four seconds later.
7. The position of a particle along a straight-line path is defined by
s = (t 3 - 6t 2 - 15t + 7) ft, where t is in seconds. Determine the total distance
traveled when t = 10 s. What are the particle’s average velocity, average
speed, and the instantaneous velocity and acceleration at this time?
8. Tests reveal that a normal driver takes about 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. Moral: If you must drink, please don’t drive!
9. Traveling with an initial speed of 70kph, a car accelerates at 6000km/h 2
along a straight road. How long will it take to reach a speed of 120kph. Also,
through what distance does the car travel during this time?
10.A particle is moving along a straight line such that its acceleration is defined
as a = (-2v) m/s2, where v is in meters per second. If v = 20 m/s when s = 0
and t = 0, determine the particle’s position, velocity, and acceleration as
functions of time.
