1. The document contains 8 mechanics problems involving kinematics concepts like acceleration, velocity, distance, and time. The problems cover motion along straight and curved paths as well as projectile motion. 2. Key concepts assessed include constructing position, velocity, and acceleration graphs; determining maximum speed, total distance traveled, and path equations; and solving for impact points and intercept distances in projectile motion problems. 3. Solutions will require applying kinematic equations for various motion scenarios like constant acceleration, circular motion, and projectile motion.

DYNAMICS OF RIGID BODIES


HOMEWORK #1
INSTRUCTIONS: Follow the format for HW/SW. Use blue inked pen. Write in
Engineering Lettering.
1. A missile starting from rest travels along a straight track and for 10 s has
acceleration as shown. Draw the v-t and s-t graphs that describes the motion and
find the distance travelled in 10 s.

2. The boat travels in a straight line with the acceleration described by the a-s
graph. If it starts from rest, construct the v-s graph and determine the boat's
maximum speed. What distance S' does it travel before it stops?

3. If the x and y components of a particle's velocity are

v y =8 m/s , determine the equation of the path


4. A particle travels along the circular path
particle's velocity is

v x =(32 t) m/s

and

y=f ( x) . x=0 and y=0 when t=0.

x 2+ y 2 =r 2 . If the y component of the

v y =2r cos s t , determine the x and y components of its

acceleration at any instant.


5. The roller coaster car travels down the helical path at constant speed such that
the parametric equations that define its position are

x=c sin kt ,

y=c cos kt ,

z=hbt , where c, h, and b are constants. Determine the magnitudes of its


velocity and acceleration.
6. A particle moves along the curve

y=x( x 2 / 400) , where x and y are in ft. If the

velocity component in the x direction is

v x =2 ft / s

and remains constant,

determine the magnitudes of the velocity and acceleration when


7. The baseball player A hits the baseball with

v A =40 ft /s

and

x=20 ft .

A =60 . When

the ball is directly above of player B he begins to run under it. Determine the
constant speed

vB

and the distance d at which B must run in order to make the

catch at the same elevation at which the ball was hit.

8. The golf ball is hit a t A with a speed o f

v A =40 mls

and directed at an angle of

30 with the horizontal as shown. Determine the distance d where the ball strikes
the slope at B.
