12–1.

Starting from rest, a particle moving in a straight line has an
acceleration of a = (2t - 6) m>s2, where t is in seconds. What
is the particle’s velocity when t = 6 s, and what is its position
when t = 11 s?




SOLUTION
a = 2t - 6

dv = a dt

If a particle has an initial velocity of v 0 = 12 ft>s to the
right, at s0 = 0, determine its position when t = 10 s, if
a = 2 ft>s2 to the left.

12–3.

A particle travels along a straight line with a velocity
v = (12 - 3t2) m>s, where t is in seconds. When t = 1 s, the
particle is located 10 m to the left of the origin. Determine
the acceleration when t = 4 s, the displacement from
t = 0 to t = 10 s, and the distance the particle travels during
this time period.




SOLUTION
v = 12 - 3t2 (1)

s + 10 = 12t - t 3 - 11

s = 12t - t3 - 21

s t=0 = -21

s t = 10 = - 901

∆s = - 901 - ( -21) = -880 m Ans.


From Eq. (1):
v = 0 when t = 2s

s t=2 = 12(2) - (2)3 - 21 = - 5

sT = (21 - 5) + (901 - 5) = 912 m Ans.




Ans:
a = - 24 m>s2
∆s = - 880 m
sT = 912 m

*12–4.

A particle travels along a straight line with a constant
acceleration. When s = 4 ft, v = 3 ft>s and when s = 10 ft,
v = 8 ft>s. Determine the velocity as a function of position.




SOLUTION
Velocity: To determine the constant acceleration ac, set s0 = 4 ft, v0 = 3 ft>s,
s = 10 ft and v = 8 ft>s and apply Eq. 12–6.
+ )
(: v2 = v20 + 2ac (s - s0)

82 = 32 + 2ac (10 - 4)

ac = 4.583 ft>s2

Using the result ac = 4.583 ft>s2, the velocity function can be obtained by applying
Eq. 12–6.
+ )
(: v2 = v20 + 2ac (s - s0)

v2 = 32 + 2(4.583) (s - 4)

v = A 29.17s - 27.7 ft>s Ans.




Ans:
v = ( 19.17s - 27.7 ) ft>s
