BANZUELO Deadline is on July 17, 2013 Problem Solving (Show your solutions.) 1. At instant the traffic light turns green, an automobile that has been waiting at an intersection starts ahead with a constant acceleration of 2.5 m/s2. At the same time a truck, traveling with constant speed of 15m/s overtakes and passes the automobile. How fast is the automobile traveling when it overtakes the truck? 2. A bus moving at a speed of 20 m/s begins to slow at a rate of 3 m/s each second after seeing a red light at the intersection. Find how far it goes before stopping. 3. A ballast bag is dropped from a balloon that is 300 m above the ground and rising at 13 m/s. What is the maximum height it reached? 4. At a uniform rate of 4 drops per second, water is dripping from a faucet. Assuming the acceleration of each drop to be 9.81 m/s2, and no air resistance, find the distance between two successive drops in mm if the upper drop has been in motion for 3/8 second. 5. (a) For the curve depicted in Fig. 2-9, find the x displacements in the time intervals 0 to 2s; 2 to 3s; 3 to 4s; 4 to 5s. (b) What is the total x displacement from 0 to 5s and what is the total distance traveled from 0 to 5s? (c) What is the acceleration in the time intervals 0 to 2s; 2 to 3s; 3 to 4s; 4 to 5s? (d) Draw acceleration versus time graph from (c)? 6. A sphere weighing 200 N is tied to a smooth wall by a string which makes 20o angle with the wall. Find the tension of the string supporting the sphere. 7. Determine the horizontal force P to be applied to a block weighing 2500 N to hold in position on a smooth inclined plane 30o with horizontal.
