Question
A driver enters the exit ramp on a highway at a speed of 40 km/ h and immediately applies the brake so that the magnitude of the car's acceleration at point A is 1.5 m/s2. If the breaking effect remains constant during the motion, calculate the distance that the car stops on the exit ramp.

- The standard test to determine the maximum lateral acceleration of a car is to drive it around a 200-ft-diameter circle painted on a level asphalt surface. The driver slowly increases the vehicle speed until he is no longer able to keep both wheel pairs straddling the line. If this maximum speed is 28 mi/hr for a 3530-lb car, determine its lateral acceleration capability an in g's and compute the magnitude F of the total friction force exerted by the pavement on the car tires. Assume r = 100 ft. Answers: an = F= i i bn g lbarrow_forwardA particle which moves with curvilinear motion has coordinates in millimeters which vary with the time t in seconds according to x = 2.4t2 - 6.9t and y = 3.2t2 - t/2.2. Determine the magnitudes of the velocity v and acceleration a and the angles which these vectors make with the x-axis when t = 2.9 s. Answers: When t = 2.9 s, V = i mm/s, e, = a = i mm/s?, O = iarrow_forward2/38 The aerodynamic resistance to motion of a car is nearly proportional to the square of its velocity. Ad- ditional frictional resistance is constant, so that the acceleration of the car when coasting may be written = -C₁-C₂², where C₁ and C₂ are constants which depend on the mechanical configuration of the car. If the car has an initial velocity vo when the en- gine is disengaged, derive an expression for the dis- tance D required for the car to coast to a stop. a V.arrow_forward
- The acceleration of a sniper rifle bullet inside the rifle’s barrel is given by a=k/x, where k is a constant and x is the position of the bullet along the barrel. If the bullet starts from rest at x=7.5 mm and comes out at the end of the 750-mm barrel with a speed of 600 m/s, What is the velocity of the bullet as it passes the midpoint of the barrel?arrow_forwardThe pilot of a jet transport brings the engines to full takeoff power before releasing the brakes as the aircraft is standing on the runway. The jet thrust remains constant, and the aircraft has a near-constant acceleration of 0.39g. If the takeoff speed is 240 km/h, calculate the distance s and time t from rest to takeoff.

The driver slowly increases the vehicle speed until he is no longer able to keep both wheel pairs straddling the line. If this maximum speed is 35 mi/hr for a 3000-lb car, determine its lateral acceleration capability an in g's and compute the magnitude F of the total friction force exerted by the pavement on the car tires. 100 ftarrow_forward
- When the effect of aerodynamic drag is included, the y-acceleration of a baseball moving vertically upward is au = -g - kv², while the acceleration when the ball is moving downward is ad = -g + kv², where k is a positive constant and v is the speed in feet per second. If the ball is thrown upward at 94 ft/sec from essentially ground level, compute its maximum height h and its speed vf (a positive number) upon impact with the ground. Take k to be 0.0017 ft¹ and assume that g is constant. au=-g-ku² y 1 194 ft/sec Answers: h = Vf= i i ad=-g+kv2 h ft ft/secarrow_forward2/42 Packages enter the 3-m chute at A with a speed of 1.2 m/s and have a 0.3g acceleration from A to B. If the packages come to rest at C, calculate the constant acceleration a of the packages from B to C. Also find the time required for the packages to go from A to C.

If the particle is then subjected to the acceleration components ax = 0.55 − 0.29t in. /sec2 and ay = 0.15t − 0.03t2 in. /sec2, determine the coordinates of the particle position when t = 6 sec.
