Sheet 5-Dynamic 2

This document contains 11 problems related to dynamics involving calculations of acceleration for objects moving in circular paths or along curved paths. The problems include calculating the acceleration of a bull-roarer spinning in a circle, a car braking on a curved highway, determining the minimum radius of a highway for a given acceleration, finding the velocity and acceleration of a crate moving along a track, and calculating the acceleration of various vehicles traveling along circular or curved paths where their speed or acceleration is defined by an equation involving time or distance.

Prob. 1
A bull-roarer is a piece of wood
that produces a roaring sound
when attached to the end of a
string and whirled around in a
circle. Determine the magnitude of
the normal acceleration of a bull
roarer when it is spun in a circle of
radius 0.9 m at a speed of 20 m/s. Ans.[ 444 m/s2]

Prob. 2
A motorist is traveling on a curved section
of highway of radius 250 m at the speed of
90 km/h. The motorist suddenly applies
the brakes, causing the automobile to slow
down at a constant rate. Knowing that
after 8 s the speed has been reduced to 60
km/h, determine the acceleration of the
automobile immediately after the brakes
have been applied.

Prob. 3
Determine the smallest radius that should be
used for a highway if the normal component
of the acceleration of a car traveling at 72
km/h is not to exceed 0.8 m/s2
Ans.[ 500 m]

Prob. 4
When x = 10 ft, the crate has a
speed of 20 ft/s which is
increasing at 6 ft/s2 . Determine
the direction of the crate’s
velocity and the magnitude of the
crate’s acceleration at this
instant. Ans. [39.8 deg., 16.3 ft/s2]

Prob. 5
The boat is traveling along
the circular path with a
speed of v = 0.0625 m/s ,
where t is in seconds.
Determine the magnitude
of its acceleration when
t = 10 s. Ans. [1.59 m/s2]

Prob. 6
If the motorcycle has a
deceleration of  0.001 s m/s2

and its speed at position A is 25


m/s, determine the magnitude of
its acceleration when it passes
point B. Ans. [1.42 m/s2]

Prob. 7

If the car decelerates uniformly


along the curved road from 25
m/s at A to 15 m/s at C,
determine the acceleration of the
car at B.
Ans. [1.18 m/s2]

Prob. 8

The car is traveling along the


road with a speed of v = (2 s) m/s,
where s is in meters. Determine
the magnitude of its acceleration
when s = 10 m.
Ans. [40.8 m/s2]

Prob. 9
The car travels up the hill
with a speed of v = (0.2s) m/s,
where s is in meters,
measured from A. Determine
the magnitude of its
acceleration when it is at point
s = 50 m, where r = 500 m.
Ans. [2.01 m/s2]

Prob. 10
The car travels along the circular path
such that its speed is increased by

0.05 et  m/s2 , where t is in seconds.

Determine the magnitudes of its


velocity and acceleration after the car
has travelled s = 18 m starting from
rest. Neglect the size of the car.

Prob. 11

The box of negligible size is sliding down along a curved path defined

by the parabola y = 0.4x 2 . When it is at A ( x A = 2 m , yA = 1.6 m ), the

speed is v = 8 m/s and the increase in speed is dv/dt = 4 m/s2 .


Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the box at this
instant.
