1.Easy
t (s)v (m/s)6 sv = ?

A car moving at 6 m/s speeds up with a constant acceleration of 1.5 m/s² for 6 s. Find its final speed v.

v₀ = 6 m/sa = 1.5 m/s²t = 6 s
v = m/s
2.Easy
t (s)v (m/s)6 sv = ?

A car moving at 14 m/s speeds up with a constant acceleration of 1 m/s² for 6 s. Find its final speed v.

v₀ = 14 m/sa = 1 m/s²t = 6 s
v = m/s
3.Medium
t (s)v (m/s)1.333 s10

A car driving at 36 km/h brakes with a constant deceleration of 7.5 m/s² until it stops. Find the braking distance s.

v₀ = 36 km/ha = −7.5 m/s²v = 0
s = m
4.Medium
t (s)v (m/s)2.778 s16.67

A car driving at 60 km/h brakes with a constant deceleration of 6 m/s² until it stops. Find the braking distance s.

v₀ = 60 km/ha = −6 m/s²v = 0
s = m
5.Hard
d = ?

A stone is dropped from rest into a well. The splash is heard 1.5 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 = 1.5 svsound = 343 m/sg = 9.81 m/s²
d = m
6.Hard
v₀ = 12 m/s15 m

A ball is thrown straight up at 12 m/s from the edge of a roof 15 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 = 15 mg = 9.81 m/s²
t = s

Answer key

  1. 1. v = 15 m/s
  2. 2. v = 20 m/s
  3. 3. s = 6.667 m
  4. 4. s = 23.15 m
  5. 5. d = 10.59 m
  6. 6. t = 3.357 s
