Worksheet 2 rectilinear motion

1. A jet aircraft with a landing speed of 200km/h has a maximum of 600m of available runway
after touchdown in which to reduce its ground speed to 30km/h. compute the average
acceleration 𝑎 required of the aircraft during braking.
2. A train starts from rest at a station and travels with a constant acceleration of 1 m/s 2.
Determine the velocity of the train when t= 30s and the distance traveled during this time.
3. A rocket is fired vertically up from rest. If it designed to maintain upward acceleration of
1.5g. Calculate the time t required for it to reach an altitude of 30km and its velocity at that
position.
4. The pilot of a jet transport brings the engines to full takeoff power before releasing the
brakes as the aircraft is standing on the runway. The jet thrust remains constant, and the air
craft has a near constant acceleration of 0.4g. If the takeoff speed is 200km/h, calculate the
distance s and time t from rest to takeoff.
5. A girl rolls a ball up an incline and allows it to return to her. For the angle 𝜃 and a 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
4m/s, determine the distance 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.

6. A motorcycle patrolman starts from rest at A two seconds after a car, speeding at the
constant rate of120 𝑘𝑚⁄ℎ𝑟, passes point A.
If the patrolman accelerates at the rate of
6 𝑚⁄𝑠𝑒𝑐 2 until he reaches his maximum
permissible speed of 150 𝑘𝑚⁄ℎ𝑟 , which he
maintains, calculate the distance s from point
A to the point at which he overtakes the car.
7. The car is traveling at a constant speed of
𝑣0 = 100𝑘𝑚/ℎ on the level portion of the rod. When the 6-percent (tan𝜃=6/100) inclined

throttle setting and consequently the car
decelerates at the constant rate 𝑔𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃 .
Determine the speed of the car

Where t is in seconds and v is in meters per second. Evaluate the position s, velocity v,
and acceleration 𝑎 when𝑡 = 3𝑠. The particle is at the position 𝑠0 = 3𝑚 when𝑡 = 0.
9. The velocity of a particle moving in a straight line is decreasing at the rate of 3𝑚/𝑠 per
meter of displacement at the instant when the velocity is10𝑚/𝑠. Determine the acceleration

10. The displacement of a particle which moves along the s-axis is given by; 𝑠 =
(−2 + 3𝑡)𝑒 −0.5𝑡 Where s is in meters and t is in seconds. Determine the time at which the
acceleration is zero.

11. A particle has an initial speed of 27𝑚/𝑠. If it experiences a deceleration of 𝑎 = −6𝑡 in 𝑠2

until it stops for the duration of 60s.

13. The acceleration of a particle traveling along a straight line

determine the velocity of the particle at 𝑠 = 2𝑚, and the position
of the particle when the velocity is maximum.

14. A vehicle enters a test section of straight road at 𝑠 = 0 with a speed of 40𝑘𝑚/ℎ. It then
undergoes an acceleration which varies with

0.2𝑘𝑚

15. A motor cycle starts from rest with an initial acceleration of 3 𝑚⁄𝑠 2 , and the acceleration
