Circular Motion Example Problem 3: at = f(t)

A bead moves along a circular wire. Its speed increases at


a = 2t 4 m/s2. Its initial (at t = 0) position and speed are
s(0) = 0 m and v(0) = 3 m/s. At t = 5 sec, please determine:
(a) The magnitude of the beads acceleration.
(b) The position of the bead along the wire (give both arc
length, s, and angle, .
(c) The total distance traveled
along the wire by the bead
in the 0-5 sec time interval. r = 20 m +s
Circular Motion Ex Prob 3: at = f(t) (a total dist problem)
A bead moves along a circular wire. Its speed increases at
a = 2t 4 m/s2. Its initial (at t = 0) position and speed are
s(0) = 0 m and v(0) = 3 m/s. At t = 5 sec, please determine

Solution:
Step 1: Integrate the at function:
r = 20 m
at = 2t - 4 m/s2 v0 = 3 m/s +s

v = t2 - 4t + 3 m/s s0 = 0 m

s= 1

t3 - 2t2 + 3t + 0 m

Step 2: Evaluate at t = 5 sec

s(5) = 6.67 m at(5) = 6 m/s2

v(5) = 8 m/s an(5) = r = 20

= 20 = 3.2 m/s2
Circular Motion Ex Prob 3: at = f(t) (a total dist problem)
A bead moves along a circular wire. Its speed increases at
a = 2t 4 m/s2.

Step 3: Further investigate the beads motion


Find roots of the velocity equation.
v(t) = t2 4t + 3 m/s
v = 0 = ( t 1 )( t 3 )
v = 0 at t = 1, 3 seconds

Step 4: Evaluate s(t) at 0, 1, 3, 5 sec

s(3) = 0

r = 20 m s(0) = 0
