    Uploaded by

    KRISTINE MIRANDA
    This document provides 10 examples of kinematics problems involving particles moving in one dimension. The examples cover topics like calculating time, velocity, acceleration, and distance given information about an object's motion under constant acceleration. Specific problems include calculating the time for a stone to fall from a cliff, the velocity of balls thrown vertically, and the motion of objects on pulleys or along equations of motion.

    Kinematics of a Particle

    Masaru Q. Nakaegawa
    Example # 1
    A stone is thrown down from the top of the cliff 150 m high with an
    initial speed of 30 m/sec. How long will it take to reach the bottom?
    Example # 2
    A ball is thrown vertically into the air at 120 fps. After 3 sec, another
    ball is thrown vertically. What initial velocity must the 2nd ball have to
    pass the 1st ball at 100 ft from the ground?
    Example # 3
    A ball is thrown vertically upward from the ground and a student gazing
    out of a window sees it moving upward pass him at 5 m/s. The window
    is 10 m above the ground. How high does the ball go above the
    ground?
    Example # 4
    A player throws a baseball upward with an initial velocity of 30 fps and
    catches it with a baseball glove. Solve for:
    (a) the time to catch the ball with the glove
    (b) the highest point the ball reached
    (c) the ball’s final velocity before hitting the ground

    Assume the glove is positioned in the same elevation when the ball left
    his hand.
    Example # 5
    A stone is dropped from the top of a cliff and 1 sec later, a second stone
    is thrown vertically downward with a velocity of 20 m/s. When and
    where will the 2nd ball overtake the 1st ball?
    Example # 6
    A ball is thrown vertically upward from a point near the cornice of a tall
    building. It just misses the cornice on its way down and passes a point
    160 ft below its starting point 5 seconds later after it leaves the
    thrower’s hand. Find:
    (a) the velocity of the ball as it leaves his hand
    (b) the distance between the ball’s highest point from the his hand
    (c) the time it takes to reach that point
    Example # 7
    A student throws a set of keys vertically upwards to her sorority sister
    in a window 4 m above. The keys are caught 1.5 seconds later. What
    was the final velocity of the keys just before they were caught?
    Example # 8
    A rope of length L connects the wheel A and the weight B by passing
    over a pulley of negligible size at C (as shown in the figure). At the
    instant when x = 9 ft, the center of wheel A has a velocity vA = 10 fps
    and an acceleration aA = 4 fps2, both rightward. What is then the
    velocity and acceleration of B?
    Example # 9
    A particle moves in a straight line according to the law s = t3 – 40t
    where s is in ft and t in seconds.
    (a) When t = 5 sec, compute the velocity.
    (b) Find the average velocity during the 4th second.
    (c) When the particle again comes to rest, what is its acceleration?
    Example # 10
    A stone is dropped down a well and 5 seconds later the sound of the
    splash is heard. If the velocity of sound is 1120 ft/s, what is the depth
    of the well?
