1.Easy
t (s)v (m/s)7 sv = ?

A car moving at 0 m/s speeds up with a constant acceleration of 1 m/s² for 7 s. Find its final speed v.

v₀ = 0 m/sa = 1 m/s²t = 7 s
v = m/s
2.Easy
t (s)v (m/s)7 sv = ?

A car moving at 6 m/s speeds up with a constant acceleration of 2.5 m/s² for 7 s. Find its final speed v.

v₀ = 6 m/sa = 2.5 m/s²t = 7 s
v = m/s
3.Medium
t (s)v (m/s)5.556 s33.33

A car driving at 120 km/h brakes with a constant deceleration of 6 m/s² until it stops. Find the braking distance s.

v₀ = 120 km/ha = −6 m/s²v = 0
s = m
4.Medium
t (s)v (m/s)5.556 s22.22

A car driving at 80 km/h brakes with a constant deceleration of 4 m/s² until it stops. Find the braking distance s.

v₀ = 80 km/ha = −4 m/s²v = 0
s = m
5.Hard
v₀ = 10 m/s10 m

A ball is thrown straight up at 10 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 = 10 m/sh₀ = 10 mg = 9.81 m/s²
t = s
6.Hard
AB: 12 m/s15 m

Ball A is dropped from rest from a height of 15 m. At the same instant ball B is thrown straight up from the ground directly below at 12 m/s. Ignore air resistance and use g = 9.81 m/s². When do the balls meet? Find t.

H = 15 mv0B = 12 m/sg = 9.81 m/s²
t = s

Answer key

  1. 1. v = 7 m/s
  2. 2. v = 23.5 m/s
  3. 3. s = 92.59 m
  4. 4. s = 61.73 m
  5. 5. t = 2.774 s
  6. 6. t = 1.25 s
