Training 1: Problems
1.1 – 1.30
1.1. A motorboat going downstream overcame a raft at a point A; σ = 60 min later it turned
back and after some time passed the raft at a distance l = 6.0 km from the point A.
1.2. A point traversed half the distance with a velocity vo. The remaining part of the
distance was covered with velocity v for half the time, and with velocity v for the other half of the time. Find the mean velocity of the
1.3. A car starts moving rectilinearly, first with
acceleration ω = 5.0 m/s2 (the initial velocity
is equal to zero), then uniformly, and finally, decelerating at the same rate w, comes to a stop. The total time of motion equals σ = 25 s. The average velocity during that time is
1.4. A point moves rectilinearly in one direction. Fig. 1.1 shows the distance s traversed by the point as a function of the time t.
Using the plot find:
(a) the average velocity of the point during the time of motion;
(b) the maximum velocity;
(c) the time moment to at which the
1.5. Two particles, 1 and 2, move with constant velocities v1 and v2. At the
initial moment their radius vectors are equal to r1 and r2.
How must these four vectors be
1.6. A ship moves along the equator to the east with velocity vo = 30 km/hour. The
southeastern wind blows at an angle φ = 600 to the equator with velocity v = 15 km/hour.
1.7. Two swimmers leave point A on one bank of destination simultaneously? The stream velocity vo = - 2.0 km/hour and the velocity v’ of each
1.8. Two boats, A and B, move away from a buoy anchored at the middle of a river along the
mutually perpendicular straight lines:
1.9. A boat moves relative to water with a
velocity which is n = 2.0 times less than the river flow velocity. At what angle to the
1.10. Two bodies were thrown simultaneously from the same point: one, straight up, and the other, at an angle of θ = 60 ° to the
1.12. Three points are located at the vertices of an equilateral triangle whose side equals a. They all start moving simultaneously with velocity v constant in modulus, with the first point heading continually for the second,
the second for the third, and the third for the first. How soon will the points
1.13. Point A moves uniformly with velocity v so that the vector v is continually "aimed" at point B which in its turn moves rectilinearly and uniformly with velocity u < v. At the
1.17. From point A located on a highway (Fig. 1.2) one has to get by car as soon as possible to point B located in the field at a distance l
from the highway. It is known that the car moves in the field η times slower than on
1.18. A point travels along the x axis with a
velocity whose projection vx is presented as a function of time by the plot in Fig. 1.3.
Assuming the coordinate of the point x = 0 at the moment t = 0, draw the approximate time dependence plots for the acceleration ωx, the x coordinate, and the distance
An equilateral triangle is move in such a way that point A moves with velocity v0
toward point B and point C moves from point B, as shown in the figure.
Determine the velocity of point B.
