Solve the following problems:
1. A car starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 2m/s2 for 10 seconds. What is its final
velocity?
2. A bicycle is moving at a velocity of 5m/s. It accelerates at 1.5m/ s2 for 4 seconds. How
far does it travel in this time?
3. A ball is dropped from a height. After 3 seconds, its velocity is 29.4m/s. What is the
acceleration of the ball? (Assume it starts from rest).
4. A runner accelerates from 2m/s to 8m/s over a distance of 15 meters. What is the runner's
acceleration?
5. A train is traveling at 20m/s. The brakes are applied, causing a deceleration of −1m/ s2.
How long does it take for the train to come to a complete stop?
6. A rocket starts from rest and reaches a velocity of 100m/s in 5 seconds. What is the
distance it travels during this time?
7. A stone is thrown downwards with an initial velocity of 5m/s. It accelerates at 9.8m/ s2
and hits the ground after 4 seconds. What is its final velocity just before it hits the
ground?
8. An object moving at 10m/s is uniformly accelerated to 20m/s over a distance of 75
meters. What is its acceleration?
9. A car slows down from a velocity of 30m/s to 10m/s over a distance of 50 meters. What
is its acceleration?
10. A skateboarder is moving at an initial velocity of 3m/s. They accelerate at 0.5m/ s2. What
is their velocity after they have traveled a distance of 10 meters?
