Problem Set 2 Dynamics

1. The document contains 15 multi-part problems involving variable acceleration, motion curves, and kinematic equations. The problems involve determining relationships between position, velocity, acceleration and time for objects undergoing non-uniform acceleration and deceleration. Key variables include speed, distance, time, rates of change of velocity (acceleration and deceleration). 2. Sample problems include determining the velocity, acceleration, and distance traveled of a car braking on a straight level road or accelerating from rest with changing acceleration. Other problems involve finding velocities, positions, and accelerations at given times for objects with defined acceleration functions. 3. Graphical motion curves show acceleration and deceleration profiles for problems involving emergency train stopping or cars accelerating
