Sorry theyre a little messy!

1. A poorly tuned Yugo can accelerate from rest to a speed of 28 m/s in 20 s.


a) What is the average acceleration of the car? +
b) What distance does it travel in this time?

v (m/s)
t (s)

2. At t = 0 a car has a speed of 30 m/s. At t = 6 s, its speed is 14 m/s.


What is its average acceleration during this time interval? +

v (m/s)
t (s)

3. A bear spies some honey and takes off from rest, accelerating at a rate of 2.0 m/s2.
If the honey is 16 m away, how fast will his snout be going at the moment of ecstasy?

v (m/s)

t (s)

4. A bus moving at 20 m/s (t = 0) slows at a rate of 4 m/s each second.


a) How long does it take the bus to stop?
b) How far does it travel while braking?
+
v (m/s)

5. A physics student skis down a hill, accelerating at a constant 2.0 m/s2.
If it takes her 15 s to reach the bottom, what is the length of the slope?
+

v (m/s)
t (s)

6. A dog runs down his driveway with an initial speed of 5 m/s for 8 s, then uniformly increases his
speed to 10 m/s in 5 s.
a) What was his acceleration during the 2nd part of the motion? +
b) How long is the driveway?

v (m/s)
t (s)

7. A mountain goat starts a rock slide and the rocks crash down the slope 100 m.
If the rocks reach the bottom in 5 s, what is their acceleration?
+
v (m/s)

t (s)

8. A car whose initial speed is 30 m/s slows uniformly to 10 m/s in 5 seconds.


a) Determine the acceleration of the car.
b) Determine the distance it travels in the 3rd second +
