Chapter 12 Problem 12-146

Question

Particles A and B are traveling around a circular track at a speed of 8 m>s at the instant shown. If the speed of B is increasing by (at )B = 4 m>s2, and at the same instant A has an increase in speed of (at )A = 0.8t m>s2, determine how long it takes for a collision to occur. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of each particle just before the collision occurs?

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 12 problem number 146 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Particles A and B are traveling around a circular track at a speed of 8 m>s at the instant shown. If the speed of B is increasing by (at )B = 4 m>s2, and at the same instant A has an increase in speed of (at )A = 0.8t m>s2, determine how long it takes for a collision to occur. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of each particle just before the collision occurs?
From the textbook chapter Kinematics of a Particle you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
