SPH3U 1-4I - Advanced Kinematics Problems Assignment Updated

1. This document contains an assignment on advanced kinematics problems. It consists of 5 questions testing students' knowledge, thinking, application, and communication skills related to motion graphs, acceleration, distance, speed, and time calculations. 2. Question 2 asks students to calculate how many days it will take a spider climbing a wall to reach the top, given its daily upward and nightly downward movements. 3. Question 5 involves several sub-questions calculating the acceleration, distance traveled, time, and speed needed for rockets to reach the moon and other celestial bodies. It also asks students to determine if a second rocket could meet the first on the moon.

3. Cesar Millan is returning home with his dog Rue at a speed of 2.0km/h. Rue is a well
trained dog and Cesar allows him to be unleashed when they are 3.0km from the house.
Rue happily begins running back and forth between the house and his master with a
constant speed of 3.0km/h. Rue does not waste any time while turning around. By the
time Cesar Millan reaches home, how many kilometers has Rue run? 3 marks
