Q1] A ball is dropped from a skyscraper.

Determined the following:

1) The displacement y of the ball after 2 sec.
2) The velocity of the ball before hitting the ground, if the skyscraper tall is
484 m.
3) The time that needs the ball to hit the ground.

1)
y = vo t – 1/2 g t2
= 0 - 0.5 * 9.81 * 22
y = - 19.62 m
= 19.62 m

2) v2 = vo2 – 2 g y
= 0 - 2 * 9.81 * 484

v = 97.45 m/s

3)
v = vo – g t
97.45 = 0 – 9.81 t

t = 9.934 sec
Q2] At any instant the horizontal position of the box in figure bellow is defined by
x = (8t) ft , where t is in seconds. If the equation of the path is y = x2/10, determine the
magnitude and direction of the velocity and the acceleration when t = 2 sec.
Q3] When the driver applies the brakes of a light truck traveling 10 Km/h it skids
3 m before stopping. How far will the truck skid if it is traveling 80 Km/h when the
brakes are applied?

10 km/h = 10 * 103 / 3600 = 2.778 m/s

then 80 km/h = 22.22 m/s

d = 192 m
Q4] The 12 Mg “jump jet” is capable of taking off vertically from the deck of a ship.
If its jets exert a constant vertical force of 150 kN on the plane, determine its velocity
and how high it goes in t = 6 sec, starting from rest. Neglect the loss of fuel during the
lift.

∑∫

0 + 150 * 103 * 6 – 12 * 103 * 9.81 * 6 = 12 * 103 * v

v = 16.14 m/s
v = vo + a t
16.14 = 0 + a * 6
a = 2.69 m/s2
y = yo + vo t + 1/2 a t2
y = 0 + 0 + 1/2 * 2.69 * 62
y = 48.4 m
