Engineering mechanics II (Dynamics) worksheet from Chapter Two

1.1 Rectilinear motion

1. A train starts from rest at a station and travels with a constant acceleration of 1 m/s 2.
Determine the velocity of the train when t= 30s and the distance traveled during this time.
2. A rocket is fired vertically up from rest. If it designed to maintain upward acceleration of
1.5g. Calculate the time t required for it to reach an altitude of 30km and its velocity at that
position.

4. The displacement of a particle which moves along the s-axis is given by; 𝑠 = (−2 + 3𝑡)𝑒-0.5t
Where s is in meters and t is in seconds. Determine the time at which the acceleration is
zero.
5. The acceleration of a particle traveling along a straight line is 𝑎(𝑠) = 8 − 2𝑠 in 𝑚/𝑠2, where
s is in meters. If 𝑣 = 0 at 𝑠 = 0, determine the velocity of the particle at 𝑠 = 2𝑚, and the
position of the particle when the velocity is maximum.

1.1 Curvilinear motion

6. A particle which moves with curvilinear motion has coordinates in millimeters which vary

with the time t in seconds according to 𝑥 = 3𝑡 2 − 4𝑡 and 𝑦 = 4𝑡 2 − 3 𝑡 3 . Determine the
magnitudes of velocity v and acceleration 𝑎 and the angles which these vectors make with
the x-axis when t=2s.
7. The x- and y- motion of guides A and B with right angle slots control the curvilinear motion
of the connecting pin P, which slides in both slots. For a short interval,
1 1
the notions are governed by 𝑥 = 20 + 4 𝑡 2 and 𝑦 = 15 − 6 𝑡 3 , where x
and y are in millimeters and t is in seconds. Calculate the magnitudes of
the velocity v and acceleration 𝑎 of the pin for 𝑡 = 2𝑠.

8. For a certain interval of motion the pin A is forced to move in the fixed parabolic slot by
the horizontal slotted arm which is elevated in the y-direction at the constant rate of 3in/sec.
All measurements are in inches and seconds. Calculate the velocity v and acceleration 𝑎 of
pin A when 𝑥 = 6𝑖𝑛.

9. The particle P moves along the curved slot, a portion of which is shown. Its distance in
𝑡2
meters measured along the slot is given by 𝑠 = , where t is in
4
seconds. The particle is at A when t=2.00s and at B when t=2.20s.
Determine the magnitude 𝑎𝑎𝑣𝑒 of the average acceleration of P
between A and B. Also express the acceleration as a vector ⃑⃑⃑⃑⃑⃑⃑⃑
