\#2 A Car take 30 s to travel at constant speed from point \( A \) to point \( B \) around a half circle of radius is \( 120 \mathrm{~m} \). Using the cootdinate system given, sketch both of the car's position-versus-time graphs. If you don't have graph paper, there are axes provided below for you to print out. For full points, you must label (with correct numerical values) both the \( x \) and \( y \) position axes, and your graph must use most of the svailable space. Show your calculations on a separate sheet of paper. Hint: As shown on the figure, the angle \( \theta \) that can be used to locate the car, will increase linearly with time. (b.) Sketch the car's velocity component, graphs. For full points, you must lsbel both the \( x \) snd \( y \) position axes. (Show your cslculstions!) Your graph must use most of the available space.

Step 1
The car is traveling around a half circle, so the distance it travels is half the circumference of a circle with radius 120 m. The formula for the circumference of a circle is 2πr, so half the circumference is πr. Plugging in the given radius, we get π(120 m) = Show more…

Cars $A$ and $B$ move in the same direction in adjacent lanes. The position $x$ of car $A$ is given in Fig. $2-30,$ from time $t=0$ to $t=7.0 \mathrm{~s}$. The figurc's vertical scaling is sct by $x_{x}=32.0 \mathrm{~m} .$ At $t=0,$ car $B$ is at $x=0,$ with a velocity of $12 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ and a negative constant acceleration $a_{B-}$ (a) What must $a_{0}$ be such that the cars are (momentarily) side by side (momentarily at the same value of $x$ ) at $t=4.0 \mathrm{~s} ?$ (b) For that value of $a_{n}$, how many times are the cars side by side? (c) Sketch the position $x$ of car $B$ versus time $t$ on Fig. 2 - 30 . How many times will the cars be side by side if the magnitude of acceleration $a_{B}$ is (d) more than and (e) less than the answer to part (a)?
A low-flying cropduster $A$ is moving with a constant speed of $40 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ in the horizontal circle of radius $300 \mathrm{m}$. As it passes the twelve-o'clock position shown at time $t=0,$ car $B$ starts from rest from the position shown and accelerates along the straight road at the constant rate of $3 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ until it reaches a speed of $30 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$, after which it maintains that constant speed. Determine the velocity and acceleration of $A$ with respect to $B$ and plot the magnitudes of both these quantities over the time period $0 \leq t \leq 50$ s as functions of both time and displacement $s_{B}$ of the car. Determine the maximum and minimum values of both quantities and state the values of the time $t$ and the displacement $s_{B}$ at which they occur.
Constant Acceleration Cars $A$ and $B$ move in the same direction in adjacent lanes.The position $x$ of car $A$ is given in Fig. $2-30,$ from time $t=0$ to $t=7.0 \mathrm{s}$ The figure's vertical scaling is set by $x_{s}=$ 32.0 $\mathrm{m} .$ At $t=0,$ car $B$ is at $x=$ 0 , with a velocity of 12 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ and a negative constant acceleration $a_{B} .$ (a) What must $a_{B}$ be such that the cars are (momentarily side by side (momentarily at the same value of $x )$ at $t=4.0 \mathrm{s}$ ? (b) For that value of $a_{B}$ , how many times are the cars side by side? (c) Sketch the position $x$ of car $B$ versus time $t$ on Fig. $2-30 .$ How many times will the cars be side by side if the magnitude of acceleration $a_{B}$ is $(\mathrm{d})$ more than and $(\mathrm{e})$ less than the answer to part $(\mathrm{a}) ?$
