(a) Explanation Given Information: The initial velocity ( v 0 ) of the particle is − 2 m/s . Calculation: Show the a-t curve of the given particle with area as in Figure (1). Calculate the area ( A 1 ) using the relation: A 1 = a 1 t 1 Here, a 1 is acceleration from 0 sec to 8 sec and t 1 is time between 0 sec to 8sec. Substitute − 0.75 m/s 2 for a 1 and 8 sec for t 1 . A 1 = − 0.75 × 8 = − 6 m/s Calculate the area ( A 2 ) : A 2 = a 2 t 2 Here, a 2 is acceleration from 8 sec to 12 sec and t 2 is time between 8 sec to 12 sec. Substitute 2 m/s 2 for a 2 and 4 sec for t 2 . A 2 = 2 × 4 = 8 m/s Calculate the area ( A 3 ) : A 3 = a 3 t 2 Here, a 3 is acceleration from 12 sec to 18 sec and t 3 is time between 12 sec to 18 sec. Substitute 6 m/s 2 for a 3 and 6 sec for t 3 . A 3 = 6 × 6 = 36 m/s Calculate the velocity ( v 8 ) at time 8 sec using the relation: v 8 = v 0 + A 1 Substitute − 6 m/s for A 1 and − 2 m/s for v 0 . v 8 = − 2 + ( − 6 ) = − 8 m/s Calculate the velocity ( v 12 ) at time 12 sec using the relation: v 12 = v 8 + A 2 Substitute 8 m/s for A 2 and − 8 m/s for v 8 . v 12 = − 8 + 8 = 0 m/s Calculate the velocity ( v 18 ) at time 18 sec using the relation: v 18 = v 12 + A 3 Substitute 36 m/s for A 3 and 0 m/s for v 12 . v 18 = 0 + 36 = 36 m/s Tabulate the velocity (v) corresponding to time (t) as in Table (1). Time ( t )(s) Velocity ( v ) ( m/s ) 0 -2 8 -8 12 -0 18 36 Plot the v-t curve for the particle as in Figure (2) (b) To determine The positon ( x 18 ) , velocity ( v 18 ) and total distance ( d ) traveled when time is 18 sec.

8) The acceleration of a particle is defined by the relation a = kt². Knowing that v = -10 m/s when t = 0 and that v= 10 m/s when t = 2 s, determine the constant k. Write the equations of motion knowing also that x =0 when t = 2 s. ANS. k=7.5 m/s^4 x(t) = 0.625*t^4-10t+10 (meters)

Q.2: The motion of a particle is defined by the relation x = -9*+24t-8, where x and t are expressed in inches and seconds, respectively. Determine (a) when the velocity is zero, (b) the position and the total distance traveled when the acceleration is zero.

Two cars, A and B, started at the same time and location. Car A started from rest and moved with an acceleration a = 216.18 m/s . Car B also started from rest and moved with velocity v = 151.0914 m/s for 20 seconds after which it maintained its acceleration. It would take 30 seconds for Car A to reach their destination. Find if Car B caught up to Car A before it reached its destination. Assume rectilinear motion for both cars.
