    This document contains two questions from a Structural Dynamics course about kinematics of particles. Question 1 involves calculating the trajectory of a steel sphere launched from a catapult at an angle and speed, including impact points and times. Question 2 involves plotting the path of a particle given its velocity and position equations over time and determining its properties when it reaches a specific position.

    Class work 2 Kinematics of Particles

    Q1 A team of engineering students designs a medium-size catapult which launches 8-lb steel spheres. The launch speed is

    vo = 80 ft/sec. the launch angle is Ө = 35ᵒ above the horizontal, and the launch position is 6 ft above ground level.

    The students use an athletic field with an adjoining slope topped by an 8-ft fence as shown.

    Determine:

    (a) the x-y coordinates of the point of first impact

    (b) the time duration tf of the flight

    (c) the maximum height h above the horizontal field attained by the ball

    (d) the velocity (expressed as a vector) with which the projectile strikes the ground

    Q2. The curvilinear motion of a particle is defined by vx = 50 -16t and y = 100 -4t 2 , where vx is in meters
    per second, y is in meters, and t is in seconds. It is also known that x = 0 when t = 0. Plot the path of the
    particle and determine its velocity and acceleration when the position y =0 is reached.
