PRACTICING QUESTIONS
Dr Adekunle Yekinni
1. The motion of a particle is defined by the relation x = 7.5 + 22.5t – 13.5t 2
+ 1.5t3 where ‘x’ is in ‘m’ and ‘t’ is in sec. Determine (a) the position
where the velocity is zero (b) position and total distance travelled when
acceleration is zero.
2. The velocity of a car travelling on road is expressed as v = 3 + 4t – 0.5t 2
where ‘v’ is in m/s and ‘t’ is in sec. Calculate (a) average acceleration
between (i) t = 3s and t = 5s (ii) t = 10s to t = 15s and (b) instantaneous
acceleration when (i) t = 4s (ii) t = 12s.
3. The position of a particle is defined by the relationship y = 8 sin 2t + 5,
where ‘y’ is in metres and ‘t’ is in seconds. Calculate position, velocity
and acceleration at t = 2s and 3s.
4. The velocity of a particle is expressed as v = 4.5t 2 – 18t – 15 and x = -75
when t = 6 sec. Determine position and acceleration when t = 4sec.
5. The acceleration of a particle is expressed as a = 10 – 10t where ‘a’ is in
m/s2 and ‘t’ is in sec. At t = 3s, x = 0 and v = -15 m/s. Determine the
position and velocity when t = 5sec.
6. A particle moves in x-y plane with velocity V x = 12t and Vy = 8t. If it
passes through the point x = 8, y = 16 at t = 2s, determine the equation of
the path.
7. The motion of a particle is defined by the equation x = t 2 + 5t – 4 and y =
t3 – 5t2 +4. Determine the velocity and acceleration of the particle when t
= 2sec.
8. A wheel is attached to the shaft (see figure 1) of an electric motor of rated
speed of 2000 rpm. When the power is switched on the unit, it attains the
rated speed in 10 sec. and when the power is switched off, the unit comes
to rest in 100 sec. Assume uniformly accelerated motion and determine
(a) the number of revolutions the unit turns to attain the rated speed, and
(b) to comes tom rest.

9. The sector and pinion arrangement of a temperature gauge is shown in


figure 2. The sector S has a radius 50 mm and can rotate about the hinge
C. It is connected to a pinion P of radius 8 mm. A pointer is rigidly
attached to the centre of the pinion. If at an instant shown, sector S has
angular velocity 1 rad/sec and a constant angular acceleration 2 rad/sec 2
in the anticlockwise direction, determine the angular velocity and
acceleration of the pointer.
