- 1- A particle moves along the x axis. Its position varies with time according to the expression x=-41+ 2f where x is in meters and t is in seconds. The position-time graph for this motion is shown in Figure. Note that the particle moves in the negative x direction for the first second of motion, is momentarily at rest at the moment 1 = 1 s, and moves in the positive x direction at times /> 1 s. (A) Determine the displacement of the particle in the time intervals t=0 to 1=1 s and t= 1 s to / = 3 s. B) Calculate the average velocity during these two-time intervals C) determine the instantaneous velocity and instantaneous speed at t= 0.5 s. x(m) Slope = 4 m/s 10 00 8 9 10 O Slope =-2 m/s 1 2 015 t(s)arrow_forwardSubject: Dynamics of rigid bodies. Polar coordinates.arrow_forwardTwo cars A and B are stopped at a traffic light, waiting for the light to change from red to green, see Figure 3. Car B is 6 meters behind car A. When the light changes to green, car A leaves accelerating at a rate of 0.3 m / sec2, while car B departs 2 seconds later and accelerates at a rate of 0.8 m / sec2. Determine the position where they are next to each other, measured from the “o” point.arrow_forward
- A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity of 48 ft/s from the top of a building 35 ft high. How high from the top of the building will the ball go? Consider two objects moving along x-axis are starting at the same time. Their positions are measured in centimeters at time t in seconds. If the equation of motion of objects 1 and 2 are s1 = 2t2 -3t and s2 = 3t-t2 respectively, determine the distance between the objects at the instant when they have the same velocity.
