1. A particle is moving along a straight line such that it’s acceleration is defined as 𝑎 = −
𝑥2
2
where 𝑥 is in meters and a is in 𝑚/𝑠𝑒𝑐 . If velocity is zero 𝑣𝑜 = 0 when 𝑥𝑜 = 25𝑐𝑚 at 𝑡 = 0,
determine the particle’s velocity when 𝑥 = 10𝑐𝑚.

2. The 𝑎 − 𝑡 graph for a particle

traveling on a straight line is shown. If
𝑎 (𝑚/𝑠𝑒𝑐 2 )
the particle starts at 𝑥𝑜 = 8 𝑚 position
with 𝑣𝑜 = 2 𝑚/𝑠𝑒𝑐 velocity at 𝑡 = 0,
determine 4
a) the position when its velocity is zero,
b) the position at 𝑡 = 10 𝑠𝑒𝑐, 9 10
0 𝑡(𝑠𝑒𝑐)
c) the total distance traveled during this 2
time interval 0 < 𝑡 < 10 sec. −2

3. Determine the required mass of block A so that
when it is released from rest it moves 5 𝑘𝑔 block
B 0.75 𝑚 up along the smooth inclined plane in
𝑡 = 2 𝑠𝑒𝑐. Neglect the mass of the pulleys and
cords.
4. The 70 𝑘𝑔 skateboarder coasts down the
circular track. If he starts from rest when
 = 0𝑜 , determine the magnitude of the
normal reaction the track exerts on him
when  = 30𝑜 . Neglect his size for the
calculation.
