PROBLEM SET NO.1

Problem 1.

A man runs around a circular track of 800 meters radius for 30 seconds,
starting at a point directly to the right of the center and goes in a
counterclockwise manner. He goes 5 meters per second for the first 15
seconds, runs 90 meters for the next 6 seconds and then 180 meters for
the rest of the course.

A. What was his average speed?


B. What was his displacement from the starting point?
C. What was his average velocity?
D. What will be his total displacement upon return to the starting point?

Problem 2.

A ball is shot vertically into the air at a velocity of 193.2 ft/s. After
4 sec, another ball is shot vertically into the air. What initial
velocity must the 2nd ball have to meet the first ball 386.4 ft from the
ground?

Problem 3.

The position of a particle which moves along a straight line is defined


by the relation s = t3 – 6t2 – 15t + 40, where s is in meters and t in
seconds. A. Determine the time at which the velocity will be zero. B.
Determine the acceleration of the particle at that time.
