Dynamics of Rigid Bodies

A car is to be hoisted elevator to the fourth floor of a parking garage,

which is 64 ft above the ground. If the elevator can accelerate at 0.6 ft/s2,
decelerates at 0.3 ft/s2, and reach a maximum speed of 6 ft/s, determine
the shortest time to make the lift, starting from rest and ending at rest.

Two objects fly toward each other. When they are 1,200 m apart, their
velocities and accelerations are v1 = 40 m/s, v2 = 15 m/s, a1 = 0.50 m/s^2,
and a2 = 1.30 m/s^2. A third object left the first object and moves with a
constant velocity of 50 m/s towards the second object. Upon reaching the
second object, it flies back to the first object and so on until the first and
second object collide. Find the total distance travelled by the third object.

A particle travels along a straight line path such that in 6 s it moves from
an initial position sa = -8 m to a position sb = +3 m. Then in another 4 s it
moves from sc = -6 m. Determine the particle's average velocity during the
10 s time interval.
