Chapter 2: Q20P (page 33)

(a) If the position of a particle is given byx=20t-5t2, where x is in m and t in secwhen, if ever, the particle鈥檚 velocity is zero? (b) When is its acceleration a zero? (c) For what time range (positive or negative) is a negative? (d) Positive? (e) Graph x(t), v(t) and a(t).

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Particle鈥檚 velocity is zero att=1.2s

(b) Particle鈥檚 acceleration is zero att=0s

(c) Range is negative att>0

(d) Range is positive att<0

(e) Graph of xt,vt andat

Step by step solution

01

Given information

x(t)=20t-5t3

02

To understand the concept of simple mathematical operation

This problem involves simple mathematical operation of derivative. Here differentiating the given equation, the equation for velocity and acceleration can be found. Further, by pluggingand, time whereandare zero can be calculated.

Formula:

vt=dxtdt

03

Derive the expressions for velocity and acceleration

xt=20t-5t2

Expressions for velocity and acceleration can be found by taking derivative of above equation with respect to t,

vt=dxtdt=d20t-5t2dt=20-15t2at=dvtdt=d20-15t2dt=-30t

04

(a) Calculate the time at which velocity is zero

v(t)=20-15t20=20-15t2

t=2015=1.2s

05

(b) Calculate the time at which acceleration is zero

at=-30t0=-30tt=0s

06

(c)Calculate the time range in which acceleration is negative

From equation, if acceleration a(t)=-30tatt>0 acceleration is negative.

07

(d) Calculate the time range in which acceleration is positive

From equation, if accelerationa(t)=-30t att<0 acceleration is positive.

08

(e) Graph x(t), v(t) and a(t)

Two particles move along an x axis. The position of particle 1 is given by x=6t2+3t+2(in meters and seconds); the acceleration of particle 2 is given bya=-8t(in meters per second squared and seconds), and, at t=0, its velocity is20m/s. When the velocities of the particles match, what is their velocity?

When a high-speed passenger train travelling at 161 km/hrounds a bend, the engineer is shocked to see that a locomotive has improperly entered onto the track from a siding and is a distance D=676ahead (Fig.2-32). The locomotive is moving at 29 km/h. The engineer of the high speed train immediately applies the brakes. (a)What must be the magnitude of resulting constant deceleration if a collision is to be just avoided? (b)Assume that engineer is atx=0when, at t=0, he first spots the locomotive. Sketch x(t) curves for the locomotive and high speed train for the cases in which a collision is just avoided and is not quite avoided.

(a) If the maximum acceleration that is tolerable for passengers in a subway train is1.34m2 and subway stations are located 806mapart, what is maximum speed a subway train can attain between stations? (b)What is the travel time between stations? (c) If a subway train stops for localid="1660818170335" 20s at each station, what is the maximum average speed of the train, from one start up to the next? (d) Graph x, v and a versus t for the interval from one start-up to the next?

Let their numerical values be 2.0and 3.0respectively. (c) At what time does the particle reach its maximum positive x position? Fromt=0.0sto t=4.0s. (d) what distance does the particle move?

Figure 2-42 shows part of a street where traffic flow is to be controlled to allow a platoon of cars to move smoothly along the street. Suppose that the platoon leaders have justreached intersection 2, where the green appeared when they were distance dfrom the intersection. They continue to travel at a certain speed vp(the speed limit) to reach intersection 3, where the green appears when they are distance dfrom it. The intersections are separated by distancesD23andD12. (a) What should be the time delay of the onset of green at intersection 3 relative to that at intersection 2 to keep the platoon moving smoothly?

Suppose, instead, that the platoon had been stopped by a red light at intersection 1. When the green comes on there, the leaders require a certain time trto respond to the change and an additional time to accelerate at some rate ato the cruising speedVp. (b) If the green at intersection 2 is to appear when the leaders are distance d from that intersection, how long after the light at intersection 1

turns green should the light at intersection 2 turn green?
