1.Easy
t (s)v (m/s)3 s17

A car moving at 14 m/s speeds up with a constant acceleration of 1 m/s² for 3 s. How far does it travel in that time? Find s.

v₀ = 14 m/sa = 1 m/s²t = 3 s
s = m
2.Easy
t (s)v (m/s)6 sv = ?

A car moving at 16 m/s speeds up with a constant acceleration of 3 m/s² for 6 s. Find its final speed v.

v₀ = 16 m/sa = 3 m/s²t = 6 s
v = m/s
3.Medium
t (s)v (m/s)2.564 s16.67

A car driving at 60 km/h brakes with a constant deceleration of 6.5 m/s² until it stops. Find the braking distance s.

v₀ = 60 km/ha = −6.5 m/s²v = 0
s = m
4.Medium
a = ?s = 1700 m

A plane needs a speed of 180 km/h to take off and the usable runway is 1700 m long. Starting from rest, what constant acceleration a does it need?

v₀ = 0v = 180 km/hs = 1700 m
a = m/s²
5.Hard
v₀ = 5 m/s20 m

A ball is thrown straight up at 5 m/s from the edge of a roof 20 m above the ground. Ignore air resistance and use g = 9.81 m/s². Find the greatest height hmax above the ground.

v₀ = 5 m/sh₀ = 20 mg = 9.81 m/s²
hmax = m
6.Hard
v₀ = 6 m/s10 m

A ball is thrown straight up at 6 m/s from the edge of a roof 10 m above the ground. Ignore air resistance and use g = 9.81 m/s². How long after the throw does it hit the ground? Find t.

v₀ = 6 m/sh₀ = 10 mg = 9.81 m/s²
t = s

Answer key

  1. 1. s = 46.5 m
  2. 2. v = 34 m/s
  3. 3. s = 21.37 m
  4. 4. a = 0.7353 m/s²
  5. 5. hmax = 21.27 m
  6. 6. t = 2.165 s
