1.Easy
t (s)v (m/s)11 sv = ?

A car moving at 0 m/s speeds up with a constant acceleration of 2 m/s² for 11 s. Find its final speed v.

v₀ = 0 m/sa = 2 m/s²t = 11 s
v = m/s
2.Easy
t (s)v (m/s)7 sv = ?

A car moving at 12 m/s speeds up with a constant acceleration of 3 m/s² for 7 s. Find its final speed v.

v₀ = 12 m/sa = 3 m/s²t = 7 s
v = m/s
3.Medium
policea = 5 m/s²car31 m/s

A car speeding at a constant 31 m/s passes a police car standing still. At that moment the police car starts and accelerates uniformly at 5 m/s². How far from its starting point does the police car catch up? Find d.

vcar = 31 m/sapolice = 5 m/s²v0,police = 0
d = m
4.Medium
t (s)v (m/s)6.667 s30

A car driving at 108 km/h brakes with a constant deceleration of 4.5 m/s² until it stops. Find the braking distance s.

v₀ = 108 km/ha = −4.5 m/s²v = 0
s = m
5.Hard
v₀ = 18 m/s20 m

A ball is thrown straight up at 18 m/s from the edge of a roof 20 m above the ground. Ignore air resistance and use g = 9.81 m/s². Find the greatest height hmax above the ground.

v₀ = 18 m/sh₀ = 20 mg = 9.81 m/s²
hmax = m
6.Hard
d = ?

A stone is dropped from rest into a well. The splash is heard 2.4 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 = 2.4 svsound = 343 m/sg = 9.81 m/s²
d = m

Answer key

  1. 1. v = 22 m/s
  2. 2. v = 33 m/s
  3. 3. d = 384.4 m
  4. 4. s = 100 m
  5. 5. hmax = 36.51 m
  6. 6. d = 26.47 m
