Car Motion 6F46F1
1. **Problem 12 (i): Sketch the velocity-time graph for the car's motion.**
- From $t=0$ to $t=30$ s, velocity is constant at 10 m/s.
- From $t=30$ s to $t=42$ s, velocity decreases uniformly from 10 m/s to 0 m/s.
2. **Problem 12 (ii): Find the distance from A to B.**
- The distance is the area under the velocity-time graph.
- Area from $0$ to $30$ s (rectangle): $10 \times 30 = 300$ m.
- Area from $30$ to $42$ s (triangle): $\frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 10 = 60$ m.
- Total distance $= 300 + 60 = 360$ m.
**Final answer for problem 12:** Distance from A to B is $360$ m.
3. **Problem 13 (i): Sketch the velocity-time graph for the particle's motion.**
- Accelerates from 0 to 20 m/s in 15 s (linear increase).
- Moves at constant velocity 20 m/s for time $x$.
- Decelerates uniformly to rest in time $t_d$.
- Given $x = 4 t_d$.
4. **Problem 13 (ii): Find the total time for which the particle is moving.**
- Displacement $= 480$ m.
- Displacement during acceleration:
$$s_1 = \frac{1}{2} \times 15 \times 20 = 150 \text{ m}$$
- Displacement during constant velocity:
$$s_2 = 20 \times x = 20 \times 4 t_d = 80 t_d$$
- Displacement during deceleration:
$$s_3 = \frac{1}{2} \times t_d \times 20 = 10 t_d$$
- Total displacement:
$$s_1 + s_2 + s_3 = 150 + 80 t_d + 10 t_d = 150 + 90 t_d = 480$$
- Solve for $t_d$:
$$90 t_d = 330 \Rightarrow t_d = \frac{330}{90} = \frac{11}{3} = 3.67 \text{ s}$$
- Total time:
$$15 + x + t_d = 15 + 4 t_d + t_d = 15 + 5 t_d = 15 + 5 \times 3.67 = 15 + 18.33 = 33.33 \text{ s}$$
**Final answer for problem 13:** Total time is approximately $33.33$ s.
5. **Problem 14 (i): Sketch velocity-time graphs for M and C.**
- M accelerates from 0 at $3$ m/s$^2$ for $8$ s, reaching velocity:
$$v_M = 3 \times 8 = 24 \text{ m/s}$$
- Then M maintains velocity $24$ m/s.
- C accelerates from 0 to 30 m/s in 20 s, then maintains 30 m/s.
6. **Problem 14 (ii): Find the distance of the pedestrian from the road junction where C passes M.**
- Let time when C passes M be $t > 8$ s.
- Position of M at time $t$:
$$s_M = \text{distance during acceleration} + \text{distance at constant velocity}$$
$$= \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 8^2 + 24 (t - 8) = 96 + 24 (t - 8)$$
- Position of C at time $t$:
$$s_C = \text{distance during acceleration} + \text{distance at constant velocity}$$
$$= \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{30}{20} \times 20^2 + 30 (t - 20) = 300 + 30 (t - 20)$$
- Set $s_M = s_C$:
$$96 + 24 (t - 8) = 300 + 30 (t - 20)$$
$$96 + 24 t - 192 = 300 + 30 t - 600$$
$$24 t - 96 = 30 t - 300$$
$$-96 + 300 = 30 t - 24 t$$
$$204 = 6 t \Rightarrow t = 34 \text{ s}$$
- Distance from junction:
$$s_M = 96 + 24 (34 - 8) = 96 + 24 \times 26 = 96 + 624 = 720 \text{ m}$$
**Final answer for problem 14:** The pedestrian is 720 m from the road junction.
7. **Example 2: Find velocity from displacement function $S = t^2 + 2 \sin t$.**
- Velocity is derivative of displacement:
$$v = \frac{dS}{dt} = 2 t + 2 \cos t$$
- Initial velocity at $t=0$:
$$v(0) = 2 \times 0 + 2 \times \cos 0 = 0 + 2 = 2 \text{ m/s}$$
- Velocity at $t = \frac{\pi}{3}$:
$$v\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = 2 \times \frac{\pi}{3} + 2 \times \cos \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{2 \pi}{3} + 2 \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2 \pi}{3} + 1 \approx 3.09 + 1 = 4.09 \text{ m/s}$$
