Kinematics

From Last Friday

Two cyclists, Chino and Kirby, have displacements 0 km and 70 km, respectively. At t=0 they begin to cycle towards one another with velocities 15 km h-1 and 20 km h-1, respectively. At the same time, a y that was sitting on Chino starts ying towards Kirby with a velocity of 30 km h-1. As soon as the y reacher Kirby, it immediately turns around and starts ying towards Chino, and so on until Kirby and Chino meet. a. Where will all three meet? b. What will be the distance traveled by the y?

Uniformly Accelerated Motion

Wednesday, August 3, 2011

Denition
An object, initially at x = 12 m has an initial velocity of -8 m s-1 and experiences a constant acceleration of 2 m s-2. Find the velocity at t = 1 s, 2 s, 3 s, 4 s, 5 s, 6 s, and 10 s.

Try
A mass has an initial -1. It velocity of 10.0 m s moves with acceleration -2. When will it -2.00 m s have zero velocity?

Again
What is the displacement after 10.0 s of a mass whose initial velocity if -1 and moves with 2.00 m s acceleration a = 4.00 m s-2?

Still
A car has an initial -1. velocity vo = 5.0 m s When its displacement increases by 20.0 m, its velocity becomes 7.0 m s-1. What is the acceleration?

A body has initial velocity -1 and a vo = 4.0 m s velocity v = 12 m s-1 after 6.0 s. What displacement did the body cover in 6.0 s?

More
Two balls start out moving to the right with constant velocities of 5 m s-1 and -1. The slow ball starts 4ms rst and the other, 4 s later. How far from the starting position are they when they meet?

Last (for now)

A mass is thrown upwards with an initial velocity of 30 m s-1. A second mass is dropped from directly above, a height of 60 m from the rst mass, 0.5 s later. When do the masses meet and how high is the point where they meet?
