Chapter 12 Problem 12-84

Question

The van travels over the hill described by y = (-1.5(10-3 ) x2 + 15) ft. If it has a constant speed of 75 ft>s, determine the x and y components of the vans velocity and acceleration when x = 50 ft.

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 12 problem number 84 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The van travels over the hill described by y = (-1.5(10-3 ) x2 + 15) ft. If it has a constant speed of 75 ft>s, determine the x and y components of the vans velocity and acceleration when x = 50 ft.
From the textbook chapter Kinematics of a Particle you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
