A car is moving at a constant speed of along a straight horizontal road.
The car is modelled as a particle.
At time , the car is at the point and the driver sees a road sign ahead.
Let seconds be the time that elapses after the car passes .
In a first model, the car is assumed to decelerate uniformly at from until the car reaches the road sign.
(a) Use this first model to find the speed of the car as it reaches the sign.
The road sign indicates that the speed limit immediately after the sign is .
In a second model, the car is assumed to decelerate uniformly at from until it reaches a speed of . The car then maintains this speed until it reaches the road sign.
(b) Use this second model to find the value of at which the car reaches the sign.
In a third model, the car is assumed to move with constant speed from until time , the car then decelerates uniformly at until it reaches a speed of . The car then maintains this speed until it reaches the road sign.
(c) Use this third model to find the value of at which the car reaches the sign.
题目中文翻译
一辆汽车沿水平直路以恒定速率 行驶。
将汽车视为质点。
在 时,汽车位于 点,司机看到前方 处的一个路牌。
设汽车经过 点后所经历的时间为 秒。
在第一个模型中,假设汽车从 点开始,以恒定减速度 减速,直至到达路牌。
(a) 使用第一个模型,求汽车到达路牌时的速率。
路牌显示,经过路牌后的限速为 。
在第二个模型中,假设汽车从 点开始,以恒定减速度 减速,直至速率达到 ,然后以此速率匀速行驶至路牌。
(b) 使用第二个模型,求汽车到达路牌时 的值。
在第三个模型中,假设汽车从 点开始以恒定速率 行驶至 ,随后以恒定减速度 减速,直至速率达到 ,然后以此速率匀速行驶至路牌。
(c) 使用第三个模型,求汽车到达路牌时 的值。

第二模型分为减速和匀速两段。先算减速到 的时间及距离,再用剩余距离除以 ,不能把全程都当作匀减速。

The time to decelerate from to is
The distance covered during deceleration is
There are m left, travelled at . Hence the total time is

第三模型多了最初 秒的匀速段。这一段走过 米,减速段仍是 秒和 米,最后的匀速距离因此缩短。

The distance travelled during the first s is
The subsequent deceleration from to still takes s and covers m.
The remaining distance is m, travelled at . Therefore
