Question

The car travels along the circular path such that its speed is increased by \(a_{\mathrm{t}}=\left(0.5e^t\right)\ \mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}^2\), where t is in seconds. Determine the magnitudes of its velocity and acceleration after the car has traveled s = 18 m starting from rest. Neglect the size of the car.

Solution

Problem 12-120

The car travels along the circular path such that its speed is increased by , where t is in seconds. Determine the magnitudes of its velocity and acceleration after the car has traveled s = 18 m starting from rest. Neglect the size of the car.

                                                           Step by Step Solution

Step 1 of 4

The position of the car at any instant is defined from the fixed point A using the position or path coordinates, as shown in the fig. The magnitude of the velocity and the acceleration are to be determined at B, so the origin of the n,t axes is at this point.

First we need to establish a function in time for car velocity. The tangential component of acceleration  is the result of the time rate of change in the magnitude of velocity, since  when  then the car’s velocity as a function of time can be established as
