PROBLEM 1
Car B is travelling east with a speed of 30 m/s with an acceleration of 2 m/s², while car A is
travelling north with a speed of 20 m/s. At t=0, the two cars are 2 km apart as shown in the
figure below.
a) Calculate the required acceleration of car A so that both cars collide at the origin of the
shown coordinate frame

b)
Part A
The two spheres A and B each have a mass of 400 g. The spheres are fixed to the
horizontal rods as shown in (Figure 1) and their initial velocity is 2 m/s. The mass of the
supporting frame is negligible and it is free to rotate. Neglect the size of the spheres.
If a couple moment of M = 0.9 N m is applied to the frame, determine the speed of the spheres in 3 s.
