Kami Export - Erin Fohouo - AP1 - Simple Motion Problems
Students will combine mental powers to answer the questions on this sheet. Each solution will
be presented to your peers and, based on your explanation, they should be able to write down
the solution to each problem! Please use a separate sheet of paper to write down the entire
solution should you run out of room on this capture sheet.
EXAMPLE: A tennis ball with a speed of 26.8 m/s is moving perpendicular to a wall.
After striking the wall, the ball rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of
15.3564 m/s. If the ball is in contact with the wall for 0.0159 s, what is the average
acceleration of the ball while it is in contact with the wall?
Take “toward the wall” to be the positive direction.
