1.Easy
t (s)v (m/s)10 s28

A car moving at 8 m/s speeds up with a constant acceleration of 2 m/s² for 10 s. How far does it travel in that time? Find s.

v₀ = 8 m/sa = 2 m/s²t = 10 s
s = m
2.Easy
t (s)v (m/s)8 sv = ?

A car moving at 8 m/s speeds up with a constant acceleration of 3.5 m/s² for 8 s. Find its final speed v.

v₀ = 8 m/sa = 3.5 m/s²t = 8 s
v = m/s
3.Medium
a = 1.5 m/s²s = 700 m

A plane starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 1.5 m/s² along a runway. Find its speed v after 700 m.

v₀ = 0a = 1.5 m/s²s = 700 m
v = m/s
4.Medium
t (s)v (m/s)0.8 s30

A driver moving at 108 km/h sees an obstacle. Her reaction time is 0.8 s, after which the car brakes with a constant deceleration of 5.5 m/s². Find the total stopping distance d from the moment she sees the obstacle.

v₀ = 108 km/htr = 0.8 sa = −5.5 m/s²
d = m
5.Hard
v₀ = 12 m/s35 m

A ball is thrown straight up at 12 m/s from the edge of a roof 35 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 = 12 m/sh₀ = 35 mg = 9.81 m/s²
t = s
6.Hard
AB: 17 m/s10 m

Ball A is dropped from rest from a height of 10 m. At the same instant ball B is thrown straight up from the ground directly below at 17 m/s. Ignore air resistance and use g = 9.81 m/s². At what height y above the ground do they meet?

H = 10 mv0B = 17 m/sg = 9.81 m/s²
y = m

Answer key

  1. 1. s = 180 m
  2. 2. v = 36 m/s
  3. 3. v = 45.83 m/s
  4. 4. d = 105.8 m
  5. 5. t = 4.161 s
  6. 6. y = 8.303 m
