MCHE-213 Sample Exam

1) A particle is traveling along a parabolic path. The problem asks to determine the velocity and acceleration of the particle at t = 2 seconds and calculate the tangential component of acceleration. 2) Two cars are traveling towards each other on a straight road at constant speeds of 80 ft/s and 60 ft/s. The problem asks to calculate the distance between the cars when they pass if they will pass in 10 minutes. 3) A ball is kicked off the ground and the problem asks to calculate the height of the ball after a horizontal displacement and the parameters involved when the ball is thrown at an angle to a basketball hoop, including the maximum height and speed if it gets stuck in the basket and

MCHE-213 Dynamics

Sample Exam
Duration: 60 minutes

Problem 1 | 3 points
A particle is traveling along the parabolic path y = 0.25x2 as shown in Figure 1.
If x = (2t2) m, where t is in seconds,
(a) determine the magnitude of the particle velocity and acceleration when t = 2 s.
(b) calculate the tangential component of the particle acceleration at the same instant.

Figure 1

Problem 2 | 2 points
Car A and car B are traveling along a straight road in opposite directions, as shown in Figure 2,
with constant speeds of 80 ft/s and 60 ft/s respectively. The two cars will pass each other in 10
minutes. Find distance d in kilometers. (1 ft 0.3 m)

Problem 3 | 5 points
Part 1
A ball is kicked off the ground with an initial velocity v 0 4m / s, 60 . Find the height of
the ball when its horizontal displacement is 1.4m.
Part 2
Observe Figure 3.
If the ball is to be to the basket at B, calculate:
1.
2.
3.
4.

the speed at which the basketball at A should be thrown with an angle of 30 .


the time for the ball to hit B.
the magnitude and direction of velocity of the ball when it hits B.
the maximum height reached by the ball.

Figure 3
Part 3
1. If the ball is assumed to stuck in the basket (to be motionless) for a while, and then be in
a vertical free-fall, calculate its speed when it hits the ground.
2. What would this speed be if the basketball had a double weight? Justify your answer.
