PROBLEM SET #1

1. A projectile is fired from the vertical tube mounted on the vehicle which is travelling at the constant speed of 30 kph.
The projectiles leaves the tube with the velocity Vr = 20 m/s relative to the tube. Neglecting air resistance.

a. Determine the distance travelled by the vehicle during the flight of the projectile where the projectile will land on
the vehicle at the tube location.
b. Determine the time of flight to satisfy situation a.
c. Determine the maximum height that the projectile travelled.

2. A projectile is fired with an initial velocity of 60 m/s upward at an angle if 30 degrees with the horizontal from a point
80 m above a level plain. What horizontal distance will it cover before it strikes the plain?

3. From the figure shown:

a. Determine the acceleration at which the 4kg block B will descend if we neglect friction on the pulley and also in
the horizontal plane.
b. Determine the tension in the chord if friction is neglected.
c. If the coefficient of friction is 0.30 between the block and the horizontal plane, determine the tension in the
chord.
4. A block resting on a plane is connected by a cable to another block as shown in figure. The coefficient of kinetic
friction between the 200N block and the inclined plane is 0.10. The system is initially at rest and then released.

a. What is the acceleration in m/s2?

b. Tension of the cable is:

6. A race car starts from rest and accelerates at a = 5t + 2t in m/s2 for 10 s. The brakes are then applied and the car
has constant acceleration of a = -30 m/s2 until it comes to rest.
a. Determine the maximum velocity
b. Determine the total distance travelled.
c. Determine the total time of travel.

7. An automobile starting from rest speeds up to 12 m/s with a constant acceleration of 1.2 m/s2 runs at fast speed for
some time and finally comes to rest with a deceleration of 1.5 m/s2. If the total distance travelled is 300 m, find the
total time required.
8. A car accelerates uniformly from zero to 12 m/s2 in 8 seconds starting from rest. During the next 4 seconds, the car
decelerates at a constant rate of 11m/s2.

a. Velocity of the car after 12 sec

b. Distance travelled after 10 sec
c. Total distance travelled after 12 sec

9. The velocity of a particle which moves along the s-axis is given by v = 2 – 4t + 5t3/2 where t is in seconds and v in
meters per second. The particle is at the position s = 3m when t = 0.
a. Compute the position s when t = 3sec
b. Compute the velocity of the particle when t = 3sec
c. Compute the acceleration of the particle when t = 3sec

10. A bullet weighing 5N is fired vertically upward with a velocity of 900 m/s. If the velocity id 885 m/s after 1 second,

b. What is the REF?
c. Maximum height the bullet will reach?
