PART II. PROBLEM SOLVING. Show your solution and box your final answer.
1. Using LAW OF SINE and COSINE method, find the resultant of vectors A=11.51N
(17.3° North of West) and B=8.33N (South). (10pts)
2. A boat moves in a straight line. The velocity is defined by v=0.5t3+0.7t where t is in
second and x is in meter. Assume that when t=0,x=0. Determine its position (x) and
acceleration (a) when t = 4.2s. (10pts)
3. Starting from rest, the acceleration of particle, which is confined to move along a
straight line, is given by 𝑎 = 56𝑡 2 − 33𝑡 − 9, where x is in meters and t is in
seconds. Determine (a) the time required for the particle to reach a velocity of
61m/s from its initial condition at t=0, (b) the acceleration of the particle when
v=25m/s, and (c) the net displacement of the particle during the interval from t=1s
to t=4s. (20pts)
4. If a particle moving in a circular path of radius 8.1 m has a velocity function v =
3.5t2 (units: m/s), what is the magnitude of its total acceleration at t = 2.1s? (10pts)
5. A jet plane travels along a upward curvilinear path defined by the equation y =
0.5x2. At point A, the jet has a speed of 250 m/s, which is increasing at the rate of
1.6 m/s2. Find the magnitude of the plane’s acceleration when it is at point A.
y=0.5x2
