Particle A and B are traveling around a circular track in clockwise direction at a speed
of 8 m/s at the instant shown. If the speed of B is increasing by (a)B = 1 m/s² ,
and at the same instant A has an increase in speed of (a¿)A = 0.8 t m/s², determine
how long it takes for a collision to occur. How many full circles of turn has each
particle completed before colliding? What is the magnitude of the acceleration of
each particle just before the collision occurs?

Step 1

Let the initial position of particle B be the x axis, the two particles then collide at the instant when clockwise angles they make with x-axis are equal.

 

The angular position is given by,

ϕ=ϕ0+ωt        (1)

Where ϕ0 is the initial angle and ω is the angular velocity.

The angular velocity of a particle moving on a circle of radius r is given by,

ω=v2r         (2)

 

Given the acceleration and initial velocity the final velocity can be found by integrating the acceleration equation as,

dv(t)dt=av(0) v(t) dv=t=0tadtv(t)-v(0)=t=0tadtv(t)=v(0) +t=0tadt                     (3)
