Doubts regarding 3 question form motion of a particle! :)

Homework Statement

Doubts related to 3 problems..I have uploaded the question up in the attachment.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

for question one,the body doesn't come to rest,s is the total dist at any instant after it started decelerating with retardation β.If it comes to rest,answer is 2s/v,and such a problem is there in irodovs general problems book..but how to get a general equation,for any instant after it starts decelrating with b?

question 3:i attempted using vectors and taking dot product equal to zero,but didnt arrive anywher,so someone please help! :)

For Problem #1: You are correct in regards to you conclusion that the car nedds to come to rest in order for a solution to be possible.

As regards the somewhat similar Irodov problem, I believe that the Irodov problem assumes that the magnitude of the acceleration, α, is equal to the magnitude of the deceleration, β. In that case, the total time is s/v_average = 2s/v_max. You generally would want to express this answer in terms of s and α, not s and v_max .


As for your attempt at a solution to #3: You will need to give more details as to what you tried, before we can be of much help.
