ACTIVITY SHEETS IN GENERAL PHYSICS I


UNIT II: MOTION ALONG STRAIGHT LINE (1D MOTION)
Directions: Observe and follow correct number of significant figures.
A. DISTANCE AND DISPLACEMENT
1. For each of the three pairs of positions listed in the table, determine the
magnitude and direction (positive or negative) of the displacement.

2. What is the difference between distance and displacement?

B. SPEED AND VELOCITY


1. Due to continental drift, the North American and European continents are drifting
apart at an average speed of about 3 cm per year. At this speed, how long (in years)
will it take for them to drift apart by another 1500 m (a little less than a mile)?
2. A bicyclist makes a trip that consists of three parts, each in the same direction (due
north) along a straight road. During the first part, she rides for 22 minutes at an
average speed of 7.2 m/s. During the second part, she rides for 36 minutes at an
average speed of 5.1 m/s. Finally, during the third part, she rides for 8.0 minutes
at an average speed of 13 m/s. (a) How far has the bicyclist traveled during the
entire trip? (b) What is her average velocity for the trip?
3. You are on a train that is traveling at 3.0 m/s along a level straight track. Very near
and parallel to the track is a wall that slopes upward at a 12 angle with the
horizontal. As you face the window (0.90 m high, 2.0 m wide) in your
compartment, the train is moving to the left, as the drawing indicates. The top edge
of the wall first appears at window corner A and eventually disappears at window
corner B. How much time passes between appearance and disappearance of the
upper edge of the wall?

C. ACCELERATION
1. Over a time-interval of 2.16 years, the velocity of a planet orbiting a distant star
reverses direction, changing from 20.9 km/s to 18.5 km/s. Find (a) the total
change in the planet’s velocity (in m/s) and (b) its average acceleration (in m/s2)
during this interval. Include the correct algebraic sign with your answers to
convey the directions of the velocity and the acceleration.

2. A car is traveling along a straight road at a velocity of 36.0 m/s when its engine
cuts out. For the next twelve seconds the car slows down, and its average
acceleration is a1. For the next six seconds the car slows down further, and its
average acceleration is a2. The velocity of the car at the end of the eighteen-second
period is +28.0 m/s . The ratio of the average acceleration values is a1/a2 = 1.50.
Find the velocity of the car at the end of the initial twelve-second interval.

D. APPLICATION OF KINEMATIC EQUATIONS


1. In getting ready to slam-dunk the ball, a basketball player starts from rest and
sprints to a speed of 6.0 m/s in 1.5 s. If the player accelerates uniformly, determine
the distance he runs.
2. A jogger accelerates from rest to 3.0 m/s in 2.0 s. A car accelerates from 38.0 to
41.0 m/s also in 2.0 s. (a) Find the acceleration (magnitude only) of the jogger. (b)
Determine the acceleration (magnitude only) of the car. (c) Does the car travel
farther than the jogger during the 2.0 s? If so, how much farther?

E. FREE-FALL
1. A ball is thrown vertically upward, which is the positive direction. A little later it
returns to its point of release. The ball is in the air for a total time of 8.0 s. What is
its initial velocity? Neglect air resistance.
2. A ball is thrown straight upward and rises to a maximum height of 16 m above its
launch point. At what height above its launch point has the speed of the ball
decreased to one-half of its initial value?

F. GRAPHICAL ANALYSIS
1. Using the graph, identify the following:
a. Which of the following is maintaining a state
of motion?
b. Has the greatest acceleration?
c. Not moving?
d. Which of the following changes its direction?
e. Traveling fastest?
f. The slowest?
2. Construct a velocity-time graph for a vehicle that initially moves with fast-constant
speed and then with a slow-constant speed in the positive direction.
3. Draw a position-time graph for a vehicle which moves in the direction at a slow
constant speed and then in a positive direction at a fast-constant speed.
4. Sketch a velocity-time graph for a vehicle moving with a constant speed in the
positive direction.
5. Construct a velocity-time graph for a vehicle which moves with a slow, constant
speed in the positive direction, and then with a fast-constant speed in the positive
direction.
