*R1–48. <strong>The</strong> position <strong>of</strong> particles A and B are<br />
r and r B = 53(t 2 A = 53ti + 9t(2 - t)j6 m<br />
- 2t + 2)i +<br />
3(t - 2)j6 m, respectively, where t is in seconds. Determine<br />
the point where the particles collide and their speeds just<br />
before the collision. How long does it take before the<br />
collision occurs?<br />
When collision occurs, r A = r B .<br />
3t = 3(t 2 - 2t + 2)<br />
t 2 - 3t + 2 = 0<br />
t = 1 s, t = 2 s<br />
Also,<br />
9t(2 - t) = 3(t - 2)<br />
3t 2 - 5t - 2 = 0<br />
<strong>The</strong> positive root is t = 2 s<br />
Thus,<br />
t = 2 s<br />
Ans.<br />
x = 3(2) = 6 m y = 9(2)(2 - 2) = 0<br />
Hence, (6 m, 0)<br />
Ans.<br />
v A = dr A<br />
dt<br />
= 3i + (18 - 18t)j<br />
v A | t = 2 = {3i - 18j} m>s<br />
v A = 2(3) 2 + (-18) 2 = 18.2 m>s<br />
Ans.<br />
v B = dr B<br />
dt<br />
= 3(2t - 2)i + 3j<br />
v B | t = 2 = {6i + 3j} m>s<br />
v B = 2(6) 2 + (3) 2 = 6.71 m>s<br />
Ans.<br />
