Textbook Question
Chapter 16.1, Problem 4CC
The total distance traveled from position zero by an object undergoing constant acceleration can be determined by
where v0 is the initial velocity, t is time, and a is acceleration. Create a flowchart to calculate the total distance (in kilometers) traveled at time t in hours, assuming initial velocity is given in miles per hour and acceleration is given in meters per second squared.

Q1. The image below shows an example of "absolute dependent motion analysis",
where the motions of two objects depend on each other, and the goal is to find the
relations in their motions (i.e., in their positions, velocities, and accelerations). Please
put the suggested steps of analysis in the correct order.
VA
A
B
VB
Differentiate the entire equation with respect to time, and extract the
relation in velocities. Repeat for acceleration if needed.
Set up a coordinate (s) along the direction of motion from a fixed point (O)
or a fixed datum line.
Represent the positions of the objects respectively. In some cases
intermediate objects need to be considered too and their positions need
to be represented as well.
Recognize the constant length(s) and find the depending geometric
relations between the position variables.
1. For this series of 3 questions, a jet bike is moving along a straight road with the
speed described by the v-s function v(s) = 2. s2/3, (v in [m/s] and sin [m]).
Your final goal is to determine the velocity (v) at a specified time. But before that,
you need to answer some other questions.
3) determine the velocity (v) when the time t = 7.1 s. Your answer must include 2
places after the decimal point, and the proper unit.

By drawing lines that pass through points B and C which are perpendicular to their velocities (the red lines in the figure above) we can locate the IC at the intersection (the star). Now we can use some basic trig to figure out the distance TB/Ic labeled in the figure, which is the radial distance from the IC to point B. I've drawn in a green dashed line that creates two right triangles to help with the trig. What is the distance TB/IC? Give your answer in m but don't type the unit.arrow_forward
