Solved Examples

Example 1: A car A is travelling on a straight level road with a uniform speed of 60 km h-1. It is followed by another car B which is moving with a speed of 70 km h-1. When the distance between them is 2.5 km, the car b is given a deceleration of 20 km h-2. After what distance and time will B catch up with A? Solution: Suppose the car B catches up with the car A in t hours. The distance travelled by the car A moving with a velocity of 60 km h-1 in time hours is given by s1 = 60 t km. The distance traveled by the car B moving with an initial velocity u = 70 km h-1 and decelerated at the rate of 20 km h-2 in time t hours is given by s2 = ut + at2 = 70t + (-20)t2 = 70t - 10t2 But (s2-s1) = 2.5 km .. 70 t -10 t2 - 60 t = 2.5 => 10t2 - 10t + 2.5 = 0 .. t2 - t + 0.25 = 0 => (t - 0.5)2 = 0 => t = h Substituting t = h, we get s2 = 32.5 km. Ans. Example 2: A train moves from one station to another in two hours time. Its speed during the motion is shown in the graph (Figure) Calculate: (i) maximum acceleration during the journey.

Solution: (i) Since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, it is given by the slope of the velocity time curve. Here the slope is greatest between and 1 hour. Change in the velocity in this interval = (60-20) km h-1 .. Acceleration in this interval = (60-20)/(1-(3/4)) km h-2 = 160 km h-2 Ans.

(ii) Distance travelled during this interval is given by s = ut + 1/2 at2 = 20 (1/4) + 1/2(160)(1/4)2 = 10 km Note: We can find distance covered during the time interval from 0.75 hour to one hour by assuming the concept of: "Area enclosed between the velocity time graph represents the distance travelled covered". Example 3: The speed of a train increases at a constant rate from zero to v and then remains constant for an interval and finallydecreases to zero at a constant rate . If l is the total distance covered, prove that total time taken is l/v + v/2 [1/+1/]. Solution:

As shown in figure, we can divide the distance covered into three stages: Ist stage - OA: IInd stage - AB IIIrd stage - BC v = t1, s1 = v2/2

s2 = l - (s1+s3) = vt2 s3 = v2/2

Hence, total time t = t1 + t2 + t3 = v/ + l(-s1+s3 )/v + v/ = v/ + l/v - v/2 - v/2 + v/ = v/2 + v/2 + l/v = l/v + v/2 [1/+1/] Example 4: A car accelerates from rest at a constant rate for some time, after which it decelerates at a constant rate to come to rest. If the total time elapsed is t seconds Calculate (i) the maximum velocity reached (ii) the total distance traveled. Solution: The velocity time graph for the motion in question is as shown in figure. Let the car acceleration is for time interval t1. Let v be the maximum velocity reached. Hence Proved.

Then acceleration = v/t1 Retardation = v/(t-t1) Adding (1) and (2) we get, or t = v = (1/ + 1/) Hence v = t()/(+) Ans. .. t1 = v/ ............ (1) .. t - t1 = v/ ............ (2)

To determine the total distance we can use equations of motion or area under the triangle OAB. Here it is easier to find area under the triangle OAB. Hence Total distance traveled = area of the triangle OAB = (1/2) base height = (1/2) t v = 1/2 t (()/(+)) t = 1/2 (()/(+)) t2 Example 5: A body falling freely from a given height "H" hits an inclined plane in its path at a height 'h'. As result of this impact the direction of the velocity of the body becomes horizontal. For what value of (h/H) the body will take maximum time to reach the ground. Solution: In this example we use the equation of motion of the following form.

Ans.

h = ut + 1/2 gt2 Total time to reach the ground, t = t1 + t2 where t1 = time taken from O to A and t2 = time taken from A to B

Hence t1 = 2(H-h)/g , t2 = 2h/g .. t = 2(H-h)/g + 2h/g For maximum value of t, the value of |(H-h) + h| is maximum. To find the maximum value, we have to use the concept of differential calculus. Hence, d/dh[(H-h) + h] = 0 or (H - h) (-1) + h- = 0 or H - h = h or h = H/2 h/H = 1/2 Ans.

Example 6: A man wishes to cross a river to an exactly opposite point on the other bank. If he can pull his boat with twice the velocity of the current, find, at what inclination to the current he must keep the boat pointed. Solution: The man starts from A and wishes to reach the point B on the opposite bank. He has to direct his boat towards the point C, to reach the point B. If AD = 2v represents the and DE = v, the velocity of the river.

Hence, sin = v/2v = 1/2 .. = 30o Ans.

Hence the inclination with the current = 30o + 90o = 120o Example 7:

Two ships are 10 km apart on a line running south to north. The one farther north is streaming west at 20 kmh-1. The other is streaming north at 20 kmh-1. What is the distance of closest approach. Solution: Suppose the two ships X, Y moving with velocities u, v respectively each 20 km h-1. The velocity of Y relative to X = v - u = v + (-u)

We therefore draw OA to represent v and add to it AB which represents -u. The relative velocity is then represented by OB. OB = (OA2 + AB2) = (202 + 202)= 28.28 km h-1. Also tan = AB/OA = 20/20 = 1 => = 45o Thus the ship Y will be move along a direction QR relative to the ship X where QR is at 45o to PQ, the north south direction. When the relative velocity is considered, the ship X is at rest.

If PQ = 10 km the distance of closest approach is PN where PN is the perpendicular from P to QR. PN = PQ sin 45o = 10 sin 45o = 7.71 km

The distance QN = 10 cos 45o = 8.071 km Time to reach N = 7.071/28.28 = 0.25h Example 8: The speed of a motor boat with respect to still water is v = 7m/s and the speed of current in a stream is u = 3 m/s; when the boat began travelling upstream a float was dropped from it. The boat traveled 4.2 km upstream and turned about and caught up with float. How long is it before boat reaches the float? Solution: Velocity of the boat while travelling upstream = boat velocity - stream velocity = v - u Time taken by the boat for travelling the distance l = 4.2 km, t1 = l/(v-u) Let 't' be the time taken by the launch after dropping the float and meeting it again. Distance traveled by the float during time t = ut Down-stream velocity of the boat = v + u Distance traveled down the stream by the boat = l + ut Time taken t2 = (l+ut)/(v+u); Total time taken by the boat t = t1 + t2 t = l/(v-u) + (l+ut)/(v+u) = l/(v-u) + l/(v+u) + ut/(v+u) t(1-u/(v+u)) = [(v+u)+(v-u) ]l/(v-u)(v+u) Hence, t (1-u/(v+u)) = 2vl/(v-u)(v+u) t = 2l/(v-u) = (24.2103)/((7-3)) h = (24.2103)/(460) min = 35 min

Example 9: A particle is projected vertically upwards, and 't' seconds afterwards particle is projected upwards with same initial velocity. Prove that the particles will meet after a lapse of [t/2+u/g] seconds from the instant of projection of the first particle. What are the velocities of the particles when they meet? Solution: Let the particles meet at a height h from the ground t0 seconds after the projection of the first particle. For the first particle, S = h, initial velocity is u m/s and time is t0. Using the formula, S = ut + (1/2) at2 h = ut0 - (1/2) gt02 For the second particle, S = h, initial velocity is u m/s and time is t0. Using the same formula, we get h = u (t0 - t) - (1/2)g(t0-t)2 Equation (i) and (ii) ut0 - 1/2gt02 = u(t0 - t) - 1/2 g(t0 - t)2 = ut0 - 1/2 gp[t02 - 2t0t + t2] => => -1/2 gt2 + gt0t - ut = 0 -1/2 gt + gt0 - u = 0 => t0 = (t/2+u/g) seconds Hence proved ...... (ii) ...... (i)

Velocity of the first particle = u - gt0 = u - g (t/2+u/g) = -1/2 gt Ans.

Solution: Let the velocity of projection of the particle be u. Let the particle be at P after time t such that OP = l then in time t the particle moves Horizontal distance ON = l cos Vertical distance PN = l sin Hence considering motion of the particle in horizontal and vertical direction. We have l cos = u cos t l sin = u sin t - gt2 Dividing (1) by (ii), we get cos/sin = 2u cos/(2u sin-gt) After solving this equation, => u = gt cos/2sin(-) Hence proved. ...... (i) ...... (ii)

OT = c = u2sin2/g

....... (iii)

Multiplying (i) by b and (ii) by a, and adding, we have c(b+a) = u2(b sin 2 + a sin 2)/g Substitute value of c from (iii) in (iv), We get '' after solving => = 1/2sin-1[(b sin 2 + a sin 2 )/(b+a)] Example 13: A shell bursts on contact with the ground and pieces from it fly in all directions with velocities up to 49 metres per second. Show that a man 122.5 metres away is in danger for 52 second. Solution: Given that R = 122.5 metres and u - 49.5 m/sec. But R = (u2 sin 2)/g .. 122.5 = [(49)2 sin 2]/9.8 or sin 2 = Ans. ...... (iv)

As there are always two directions of projections and (-) for a given range, hence for the range of 122.5 metres there will be two directions of projection i.e. 15o and 90o - 15o and 75o. Let t1 and t2 be the times of flight in the two cases, then t1 = 2u sin15/g and t2 = 2u sin75/g The man is in danger for a time = t2 - t1 = 2u/g (sin 75o - sin 15o) = 2u/g (2 cos 45o sin 30o). = 2*29/9.8*2*1/2*1/2 = 52 seconds.

A body is projected at an angle to the horizontal, so that it is just able to clear two walls of equal height 'a' at a distance '2a' from each other. Show that the range is equal to 2 cot /2. Solution: Let us be the velocity of projection and R the required range of the particles Then R = (2u2 sin cos )/g ...... (i)

Also referred to horizontal and upward drawn vertical lines through the point of projection (and lying in the plane of flight) as coordinate axes, the equation of the path is y = x tan - gx2/2u2cos2 As the top of the walls of height a lie on it. .. The distance of the walls from the point of projection of the particle be a = x tan gx2/2u2cos2 or gx2 - 2u2x sin cos + 2au2 cos2 = 0 ...... (ii)

Let the distances of the walls from the point of projection of the particle be x1 and x2. Then x1 and x2 are the roots of the equation (ii). .. x1 + x2 = (2u2 sin cos )/g = R, and x1 x2 = (2au2 cos2)/g Now distance between the walls = 2a = x2 - x1 Squiring 4a2 = (x2 - x1)2 = (x2 + x1)2 - 4x1x2 or 4a2 = R2 - 8u2cos2/g , from (iii) and (iv) ......

At B, tangent to (i) is inclined at an angle b to the horizontal. .. from (iii) at B, tan = tan - -gh/2u2cos2 or - gh/2u2cos2 = tan - tan Also is the elevation of B (h, k), so tan = k/h or k = h tan ..

The displacement of the particle along the x and y axes are x = uxt y = uyt - 1/2 gyt2 ... (v) ... (vi)

To determine the range of the projectile along the x-axis, we set y = 0 in equation (vi) so as to determine the time at which the particle returns on the x-axis. This gives t = 2uy/cos = 2u sin/gcos Substituting this in equation (v), we get x = ux t = (u cos ) (2u sin/gcos) (u sin/gcos) Ans.

(b) Since the horizontal displacement of the particle as seen by an observer on the ground is zero, the box covers a distance exactly equal to the projectile range x(= u sin2/gcos) in time t(= (2u sin/gcos). The acceleration experienced by the box along the inclined plane is g sin . If V is the velocity of the box at the instant the projectile was projected, then by using the expression s = ut + (1/2) at2, we get (u sin2/gcos) = V (2u sin/gcos) + 1/2(g sin)(2u sin/gcos)2 After solving the above equations, we get u cos = V + (u sin sin)/cos Or, V = u (cos cos - sin sin)/cos = u(cos(+)/cos) Ans.

Example 20: A point moves along a circle of radius r with deceleration; at any moment the magnitudes of its tangential and normal accelerations are equal. The point was set in motion with the velocity v0. Find the velocity v and the magnitude of the total acceleration a of the point as a function of the distances covered by it. Solution: As we know, dv/dt = -v2/r. We can write dv/v = -ds/r. The integration of this expression with regard to the initial velocity yields the following result : V = v0e-s/r. In this case |aT| = aN, and therefore the total acceleration a = 2 aN = 2 v2/r, or a = 2 v02/re2s/r. Example 21: A point moves along a plane path so that its tangential acceleration aT = a and the normal acceleration aN = bt4, where a and b are positive constants and t is time. The point started moving at the moment t = 0. Find the curvature radius r of its path and its total acceleration a as a function of the distance s covered by the point. Solution: The elementary velocity increment of the point dv = aT dt. Integrating this equation, we get v = at. The distance covered s = at2/2. The curvature radius for the path can be represented as r = v2/aN = a2/bt2. Or r = a3/2bs.

The total acceleration a = (a2T + a2N) = (1+4bs3/a2)2 Example 22: A particle moves uniformly with the velocity v along a parabolic path y = ax2, where a is a positive constant. Find the acceleration w of the particle at the point x = 0. Solution: Let us differentiate twice the path equation with respect to time: dy/dt = 2ax(dx/dt);d2y/dt2 = 2a [(dx/dt)2 + x d2x/dt2] Since the particle moves uniformly, its acceleration at all points of the path is purely normal and at the point x = 0 is coincides with the derivative d2y/dt2 at the point. Keeping in mind that at the point x = 0 |dx/dt| = v we get a = 2av2. Note that in this solution method we have avoided calculating the curvature radius of this path at the point x = 0, which is usually needed to determine the normal acceleration (aN = v2/r). Example 23: A train travels due south at 30 m/s (relative to ground) in a train that is blown towards the south by the wind. The path of each raindrop makes an angle of 22owith the vertical, as measured by an observer stationary on Earth. An observer on a train, however, sees the drops fall perfectly vertical. Determine the speed of rain drops relative to Earth. Solution: Here we notice that a change in reference frame changes the observation and mathematics involved in it i.e. the statements made about the rain by two different observes are different. Let us draw vector diagram with the given information
