Chapter 12 Problem 12-28

Question

Two particles A and B start from rest at the origin s = 0 and move along a straight line such that aA = (6t - 3) ft>s 2 and aB = (12t 2 - 8) ft>s 2 , where t is in seconds. Determine the distance between them when t = 4 s and the total distance each has traveled in t = 4 s.

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 12 problem number 28 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Two particles A and B start from rest at the origin s = 0 and move along a straight line such that aA = (6t - 3) ft>s 2 and aB = (12t 2 - 8) ft>s 2 , where t is in seconds. Determine the distance between them when t = 4 s and the total distance each has traveled in t = 4 s.
From the textbook chapter Kinematics of a Particle you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
