12–6. A ball is released from the bottom of an elevator


which is traveling upward with a velocity of 6 ft>s. If the ball
strikes the bottom of the elevator shaft in 3 s, determine the
height of the elevator from the bottom of the shaft at the
instant the ball is released. Also, find the velocity of the ball
when it strikes the bottom of the shaft.

Kinematics: When the ball is released, its velocity will be the same as the elevator at
the instant of release. Thus, v0 = 6 ft>s. Also, t = 3 s, s0 = 0, s = -h, and

12–79. A particle travels along the path y2 = 4x with a


constant speed of v = 4 m>s. Determine the x and y
components of the particle’s velocity and acceleration when
the particle is at x = 4 m.

Velocity: The x and y components of the particle’s velocity can be related by taking
the first time derivative of the path’s equation using the chain rule.
# #
2yy = 4x
# 2 #
y = x
y
or
2
vy = v (1)
y x

At x = 4 m, y = 24(4) = 4 m. Thus Eq. (1) becomes


1
vy = v (2)
2 x
The magnitude of the particle’s velocity is

v = 2vx 2 + vy 2 (3)

Substituting v = 4 m>s and Eq. (2) into Eq. (3),

2
4 = 2 1
A vx + a v x b
2

vx = 3.578 m>s = 3.58 m>s Ans.

Substituting the result of nx into Eq. (2), we obtain

vy = 1.789 m>s = 1.79 m>s Ans.

Acceleration: The x and y components of the particle’s acceleration can be related


by taking the second time derivative of the path’s equation using the chain rule.
# #
2(yy + yy) = 4x
#
y2 + yy = 2x

or
vy 2 + yay = 2ax (4)

When x = 4 m, y = 4 m, and vy = 1.789 m>s. Thus Eq. (4) becomes

1.7892 + 4ay = 2ax

ay = 0.5ax - 0.8 (5)

Since the particle travels with a constant speed along the path, its acceleration along
the tangent of the path is equal to zero. Here, the angle that the tangent makes with the
dy 1
horizontal at x = 4 m is u = tan - 1 ¢ ≤ 2 = tan - 1 ¢ 1>2 ≤ 2 = tan - 1 (0.5) = 26.57°.
dx x = 4 m x x=4 m
Thus, from the diagram shown in Fig. a,

ax cos 26.57° + ay sin 26.57° = 0 (6)

Solving Eqs. (5) and (6) yields

ax = 0.32 m>s2 ay = -0.64 m>s2 = 0.64 m>s2 T Ans.
