5. Two road rally checkpoints A and B are located on the same highway and are 12
km apart. The speed limits for the first 8 km and the last 4 km of the section of
highway are 100 km/h and 70 km/h, respectively. Drivers must stop at each
checkpoint, and the specified time between points A and B is 8min 20 sec.
Knowing that a driver accelerates and decelerates at the same constant rate,
determine the magnitude of her acceleration if she travels at the speed limit as
much as possible.

6. A particle moves with rectilinear motion. The speed increases from zero to 30
ft/sec in 3 sec and then decreases to zero in 2 sec.
a) Plot the v-t curve
b) What is the acceleration during the first 3 sec and during the next 2 sec?
c) What is the distance travelled in 5 sec?
d) How long does it take the particle to go 50 ft?
Solution:
a)
30 ft/s
y = -15x + 30
v
t
3 sec 2 sec
b) a = dv/dt
x = A = (1/2)3(30) + (1/2)(2)(30) = 75 ft
d) 2 t = 3 sec, x = 45 ft
Total time = 3 + t
-7.5 t2 + 30t = 5
a = dv/dt =
2t + C1 =
2t + C1 = 2
@ t = 2 sec, v = 16 ft
Hence, 2t + 4 = 2v1/2
t + 2 = v1/2
v = (t + 2)2
v = dx/dt = (t + 2)2
= (t + 2)2 dt
x = (1/3)(t + 2)3 + C2
@ t = 2 sec, x = 64/3 ft
C2 = 0
Therefore, a = 2(t+2)
x = 41.7 ft
v = 25 ft/s
a = 10 ft/s2
