Car and Rocket Motion Calculations

The document discusses problems related to erratic motion involving a car and a rocket. It includes calculations for acceleration, deceleration, velocity, and distance traveled under varying conditions. Specific questions are posed regarding the time to stop the car, total distance traveled, and the effects of constant deceleration on the rocket's motion.

Dynamics

Module 7
Erratic Motion

A car starts from rest and travels along a


straight track such that it accelerates at 10
m/s2 for 10 sec, and then decelerates at 2
m/s2. Determine the time needed to stop
the car. How far has the car travelled?

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 11 m/s2. Find the following:
a. Velocity after 12 seconds
b. Distance traveled after 10 seconds
c. Total distance travelled after 12 seconds

The acceleration of a rocket is plotted as


shown.

When the rocket starts from rest, determine


the velocity at point B.
When the rocket started from rest,
determine the total distance traveled from
point A to C.
If the acceleration at point B to C be
replaced with a constant deceleration to
make the rocket stop at point C, what
should be the value of the negative
acceleration?
