1.Easy
t (s)v (m/s)3 s3

A car moving at 0 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 = 0 m/sa = 1 m/s²t = 3 s
s = m
2.Easy
t (s)v (m/s)10 s7

A car moving at 2 m/s speeds up with a constant acceleration of 0.5 m/s² for 10 s. How far does it travel in that time? Find s.

v₀ = 2 m/sa = 0.5 m/s²t = 10 s
s = m
3.Medium
t (s)v (m/s)t = ?12.5

A car driving at 45 km/h brakes with a constant deceleration of 6.5 m/s² until it stops. How long does braking take? Find t.

v₀ = 45 km/ha = −6.5 m/s²v = 0
t = s
4.Medium
t (s)v (m/s)t = ?20

A car driving at 72 km/h brakes with a constant deceleration of 6 m/s² until it stops. How long does braking take? Find t.

v₀ = 72 km/ha = −6 m/s²v = 0
t = s
5.Hard
t (s)v (m/s)7 s

A tram starts from rest and accelerates at 1.5 m/s² for 7 s, then runs at constant speed for 11 s, and finally brakes at 4.5 m/s² until it stops. Find the total distance s between the two stops.

a1 = 1.5 m/s²t1 = 7 st2 = 11 sa3 = −4.5 m/s²
s = m
6.Hard
v₀ = 16 m/s10 m

A ball is thrown straight up at 16 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 = 16 m/sh₀ = 10 mg = 9.81 m/s²
t = s

Answer key

  1. 1. s = 4.5 m
  2. 2. s = 45 m
  3. 3. t = 1.923 s
  4. 4. t = 3.333 s
  5. 5. s = 164.5 m
  6. 6. t = 3.799 s
