A train is slowing down with constant deceleration. It passes a signal at A, and after successive intervals of 40 seconds it passes points B and C, where AB = 1800 m and BC= 1400 m. (a) How fast is the train moving when it passes A? (b) How far from A does it come to a stop?

A motorbike and a car are waiting side by side at traffic lights. When the lights turn to green, the motorbike accelerates at 24 m s2 up to a top speed of 20 m sTM, and the car accelerates at 1 ms2 up to a top speed of 30 m s. Both then continue to move at constant speed. Draw (t,v) graphs for each vehicle, using the same axes, and sketch the (t,s) graphs. (a) After what time will the motorbike and the car again be side by side? (b) What is the greatest distance that the motorbike is in front of the car?

A car comes to a stop from a speed of 30 m s in a distance of 804 m. The driver brakes so as to produce a deceleration of m s2 to begin with, and then brakes harder to produce a deceleration of ms2. Find the speed of the car at the instant when the deceleration is increased, and the total time the car takes to stop.

A car rounds a bend at 10 ms^-1, and then accelerates at 1/2ms^-2 along a straight stretch of road. There is a junction 400 m from the bend. When the car is 100 m from the junction, the driver brakes and brings the car to rest at the junction with constant deceleration. Draw a (t,v) graph to illustrate the motion of the car. Find how fast the car is moving when the brakes are applied, and the deceleration needed for the car to stop at the junction.

The figure shows a map of the railway line from Aytown to City. The timetable is based on the assumption that the top speed of a train on this line is 60 km per hour; that it takes 3 minutes to reach this speed from rest, and 1 minute to bring the train to a stop, both at a constant rate; and that at an intermediate station 1 minute must be allowed to set down and pick up passengers. How long must the timetable allow for the whole journey (a) for trains which don’t stop at Beeburg, (b) for trains which do stop at Beeburg?

Two villages are 900 metres apart. A car leaves the first village travelling at 15 ms and accelerates atm s2 for 30 seconds. How fast is it then travelling, and what distance has it covered in this time? The driver now sees the next village ahead, and decelerates so as to enter it at 15 m s1 What constant deceleration is needed to achieve this? How much time does the driver save. by accelerating and decelerating, rather than covering the whole distance at 15 m s1?

A cyclist travels from A to B, a distance of 240 metres. He passes A at 12 m s1, maintains this speed for as long as he can, and then brakes so that he comes to a stop at B. If the maximum deceleration he can achieve when braking is 3 m s2, what is the least time in which he can get from A to B?

The speed limit on a motorway is 120 km per hour. What is this in SI units?

3 October 2023 by alevelmechanics1.com Intro: In this numerical problem, we will be converting the speed limit from a motorway, which is typically measured in kilometers per hour (km/h), into the equivalent value in the International System of Units (SI units). The SI unit for speed is meters per second (m/s), so we will perform the necessary … Read more
