KEY

1. A car with a velocity of 22 m/s is accelerated uniformly at the rate of 1.6


m/s2 for 6.8 s. What is its final velocity?

v f = vi +at = 22 m
s + (1.6 m
s2
6.8 s ) = 33 m
s

2. Light travels in a straight line at a constant speed of 3.0 x 10 8 m/s for 4.1
years to reach the earth from the nearest star 3.9 x 10 13 km away. What is
its acceleration?
To be answered in Episode 303

3. A boy sliding down a hill accelerates at 1.40 m/s2. If he started from


rest, in what distance would he reach a velocity of 7.00 m/s?

v f 2 = 2ad
vf 2
(7.00 ms )2
d= = = 17.5 m
2a 2 1.40 sm2

4. What is the acceleration of a plane that changes velocity from 75 m/s to


140 m/s in 15s? How far does a plane fly during that time?

v f = vi + at
v f - vi 140 m
s - 75 m
s m
a= = = 4.3 s2
t 15 s
To solve for “d”, you must use the value of “a”determined in part 1.

vf = vi + 2ad

vf - vi (140 m s ) 2 (75 m s ) 2
d=  1600 m

5. If a bullet leaves the muzzle of a rifle with a speed of 600 m/s, and the barrel
of the rifle is 0.9 m long, at what rate is the bullet accelerated while in the
barrel?
v f 2 = 2ad
vf 2
(600 ms )2
a= = = 2 10 5 m
2d 2 0.9 m s2

6. A car is traveling at a velocity of 22 m/s when the driver puts on the brakes
to decelerate it at 1.4 m/s2 over a distance of 110 m. What is the car’s
velocity at the end of this distance?

To be answered in Episode 303

7. A ball, originally at rest, undergoes a constant acceleration of 0.76m/s2.


How long does it take the ball to travel 4.8m?

d= 1
2 at 2
2d 2(4.8 m)
t= = = 3.6 s
a 0.76 sm2

8. You are driving your car down a straight road at a constant speed of 23 m/s
(about 50 mi/h). What is your acceleration? _______________
a. Suddenly you see a stalled school bus across the road ahead. It takes
you 0.75 s to react and put on the brakes. How far does the car move
during this time?
b. When you apply the brakes, the car decelerates at 6.2 m/s2. How far
does the car travel until it comes to a stop?
c. If the bus is 62 m away, will you be able to stop before hitting it?
d
a.
v=
t
b. 2 2
v f = vi + 2ad
m 2 2
d = vt = (23 )(0.75 s) = 17 m
s v f - vi (0 m ) 2 (23 m s ) 2
d=  s 43m
2a 2(6.2 m s2 )
c. d total = d a + d b = 17 m + 43 m = 60 m
You would be able to stop in time.
