1.Easy
t (s)v (m/s)4 s15

A train slows down uniformly from 19 m/s to 15 m/s in 4 s. How far does it travel in that time? Find s.

v₀ = 19 m/sv = 15 m/st = 4 s
s = m
2.Easy
t (s)v (m/s)12 s20

A car moving at 14 m/s speeds up with a constant acceleration of 0.5 m/s² for 12 s. How far does it travel in that time? Find s.

v₀ = 14 m/sa = 0.5 m/s²t = 12 s
s = m
3.Medium
t (s)v (m/s)5 s20

A car driving at 72 km/h brakes with a constant deceleration of 4 m/s² until it stops. Find the braking distance s.

v₀ = 72 km/ha = −4 m/s²v = 0
s = m
4.Medium
t (s)v (m/s)2.963 s22.22

A car driving at 80 km/h brakes with a constant deceleration of 7.5 m/s² until it stops. Find the braking distance s.

v₀ = 80 km/ha = −7.5 m/s²v = 0
s = m
5.Hard
v₀ = 18 m/s35 m

A ball is thrown straight up at 18 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 = 18 m/sh₀ = 35 mg = 9.81 m/s²
t = s
6.Hard
d = ?

A stone is dropped from rest into a well. The splash is heard 3.9 s after the stone is released. The speed of sound is 343 m/s; ignore air resistance and use g = 9.81 m/s². Find the depth d of the well.

ttotal = 3.9 svsound = 343 m/sg = 9.81 m/s²
d = m

Answer key

  1. 1. s = 68 m
  2. 2. s = 204 m
  3. 3. s = 50 m
  4. 4. s = 32.92 m
  5. 5. t = 5.076 s
  6. 6. d = 67.29 m
