ASSIGNMENT 1 – DYNAMIC DDA 2063

1. A car traveling along the straight portions of the road has the velocities
indicated in the figure when it arrives at points A, B, and C. If it takes time 3s to
go from A to B, and then time 5s to go from B to C, determine the average
acceleration between points A and B and between points A and C.Given that VA
= 20m/s, VB = 30m/s, VC = 40m/s, θ =45°.

2. Measurements of a shot recorded on a videotape during a basketball game

are shown. The ball passed through the hoop even though it barely cleared the
hands of the player B who attempted to block it. Neglecting the size of the ball,
determine the magnitude vA of its initial velocity and the height h of the ball when
it passes over player B. Given that a = 2.1m, b = 7.5m, c = 1.5m, d = 3m, θ =
30°.

3. At a given instant the jet plane has speed of 120m/s and acceleration of
21m/s2 acting in the directions shown. Determine the rate of increase in the
plane’s speed and the radius of curvature ρ of the path when θ =60°.

4. At the instant shown, the car at A is traveling at VA = 10m/s around the curve
while increasing its speed at 5m/s2. The car at B is traveling at VB=18.5m/s along
the straightaway and increasing its speed at 2m/s2. The angle of θ = 45°.
Determine the relative velocity and relative acceleration of A with respect to B at
this instant.
