Mid Exam Draft

The document consists of two parts: Part One requires stating and explaining Newton's laws of motion and listing applications of dynamics, while Part Two includes various physics problems related to motion, acceleration, and projectile dynamics. Specific tasks involve calculating distances, velocities, and plotting motion characteristics based on given equations. The problems cover scenarios such as a ball rolling up an incline, a car descending a grade, and the motion of projectiles and connected systems.

PART ONE

1. State and Explain Newton’s laws of motion. (3 mark)


2. List at least 4 Applications of Dynamics. (2 mark)

PART TWO

3. A girl rolls a ball up an incline and allows it to return to her. For the angle θ and
ball involved, the acceleration of the ball along the incline is constant at 0.25g,
directed down the incline. If the ball is released with a speed of 4 m /s, determine
the distance s it moves up the incline before reversing its direction and the total
time t required for the ball to return to the child’s hand. (5 mark)

4. The driver of a car, which is initially at rest at the top A of the grade, releases the
brakes and coasts down the grade with an acceleration in feet per second squared
given by a = 3.22 − 0.004v2 , where v is the velocity in feet per second. Determine
the velocity vB at the bottom B of the grade. (5 mark)

or
5. The displacement of a particle which moves along the s-axis is given by s = (−4
+ 6t)𝑒 −0.5t , where s is in meters and t is in seconds. Plot the displacement,
velocity, and acceleration versus time for the first 20 seconds of motion.
Determine the time at which the acceleration is zero. (10 mark)

6. A projectile is launched with an initial speed of 200 m/s at an angle of 600 with
respect to the horizontal. Compute the range R as measured up the incline. (5
mark)

7. If end A of the rope moves downward with a speed of 5 m/s, determine the
speed of cylinder B. (5 mark)

8. Determine the velocity of block A if end B of the rope is pulled down with a
speed of 1.5 m/s. (5 mark)
9. The aircraft A with radar detection equipment is flying horizontally at an altitude
of 12 km and is increasing its speed at the rate of 1.2 m/s each second. Its radar
locks onto an aircraft B flying in the same direction and in the same vertical plane
at an altitude of 18 km. if A has a speed of 1000 km/h at the instant when θ = 30o,
determine the values of 𝑟̈ and 𝜃̈ at this same instant if B has a constant speed of
1500 km/h. (10 mark)
