Homework Statement
Al right so i am given this diagram. They are asking about the time for the whole journey.
The car is traveling on a steep hill through the section of AD and which continues on to DC with a small curved path.Find the time for this journey. The car starts from rest at point A.
The Attempt at a Solution
I used this equation to find the distance from A to D
a^2= b^2 +c^2
Then i used this equation to find the time from A to D
V2 - V1 = 2gd
to find V2
Then i used the equation
v2 = v1 + gt
to find the time
T don't know how to account for the curved path and how should i continue?
Here is a diagram:
