Question 1: The tangential component of acceleration (Constant)

at = = = 1.44 × 104 km / h2
t 5

The normal component of acceleration at the instant of v =50 km/h

v2 50 2
an = = −3
= 0.42 × 104 km / h2
r 600 × 10

The total acceleration when v =50 km/h

a = at2 + a n2 = (1.44 × 104 )2 + 0.42 × 104 ( )2


= 1.5 × 104 km / h2

Question 2: At point P1, using (a P1 )n = yields the speed of tape
rC
v = v P1 = (a P1 )n rc = 40 × 0.1 = 2m / s

Since v = v P1 = v P2 (no slip for the tape in the pulley system), thus
(a P1 )t = (a P2 )t = 30m / s 2

The total acceleration for point P1 and P2

a P1 = ( a P1 ) t2 + (a P1 ) 2n = 30 2 + 40 2 = 50m / s 2

v P22 22 2
a P2 = ( a P2 ) 2t + ( a P2 ) 2n = (a P2 ) 2t + ( ) 2 = 30 2 + ( ) = 85.4m / s 2

Question 3: Using v A = v B + v A / B vB 75°


θ 105°
From the velocity diagram, the rule of cosine is applied vA
vA/B
v A2 / B = v A2 + v B2 − 2v A v B cos 105 = 600 2 + 500 2 − 2 × 600 × 500 × cos 105

Thus v A / B = 875 km / h

From the geometry, α = 180o − ( β + 45o ) = 56.3o
Using the rule of cosine a A2 / B = a A2 + a B2 − 2a Aa B cos 56.3 = 5.12 + 22 − 2 × 5.1 × 2 × cos 56.3
Thus a A / B = 4 .32 m / s 2
Using the rule of cosine cos(180 − θ ) = aB + a A / B − a A = 2 + 4.32 − 5.1 = −0.19

From the velocity diagram, the rule of cosine is applied

v A2 / B = v A2 + v B2 − 2v Av B cos 45 = 120 2 + 90 2 − 2 × 120 × 90 × cos 45

Thus v A / B = 85 m / s

(b) Using a A = a B + a A / B aA/B

Train A travels with a constant speed of 120 km/h, thus aB

aA = 0

Since a B = −3m / s 2 (60° )

From the acceleration diagram, a A / B = − a A / B = 3m / s 2 ( 60° )
