CHAPTER 2 - MOTION

1. A particle moves in a straight line in such a way that s = 2t feet where t is in seconds. Is its acceleration zero, or has it constant or variable acceleration? Find V when s = 0. 2. If a particle moves along a straight path in such a way that s = 2t2 feet, where t is in seconds, what kind of acceleration has it? Find the acceleration when t = 5 sec. Find V when t = 10 sec. 3. Same as Prob. 2, except that s = (2t3 + 2t2) feet. 4. If the acceleration A of a particle is 3 in./sec2 and its initial velocity Vo is zero, find the time required for this particle to move 27 in. Find V at the end of this time. 5. Let A = 1200 ft/min2 and V0 = 100 fps. Find s in inches and V in inches per second at the end of 10 sec. 6. A particle starts from rest and accelerates at constant rate for 3 min, at the end of which time it has acquired enough velocity to carry it at uniform velocity a distance of 10 ft in 2 min. Find A during first 3 min and V at the end of that time. 7. A particle is moving in a straight line. A = 60 ft/min2 constant. When passing another fixed particle B it has a velocity of 40 fpm. What will be its velocity when it has moved 2000 ft from B? 8. Let A = (V + 3) feet per minute. Find s and t when V = 12 fpm. V0 = 0. 9. Let A = 1/V feet per second; V0 = 5 fps. Find V and t when s = 25 ft. 10. Let A = 4s feet per second per second; V0 = 5 fps. Find V and s at the end of 4 sec. 11. Let A = (2s + 3) feet per second per second; V0 = 0. Find A, V, and when s = 7 ft.
