Question

Question:
A boat starts from rest at s equals 0 and travels in a straight line. The acceleration varies as follows: a decreases linearly from 8 feet per second squared to 6 feet per second squared as s goes from 0 to 100 feet, then decreases linearly from 6 feet per second squared to 0 feet per second squared as s goes from 100 feet to 150 feet. Construct the v–s graph.

Problem 12-57: Engineering Mechanics- Dynamics (Hibbeler 14th Edition)

This lesson demonstrates how to build a velocity–position (v–s) graph for a particle undergoing rectilinear motion when acceleration varies linearly with position in two successive segments. The method centers on integrating the kinematic identity v dv = a ds piecewise and verifying continuity at the segment boundary.

In this lesson, you will learn to:
• Apply the kinematic identity v dv = a ds to relate velocity and position under variable accelera
