2) A student first walks due east for 30 minutes with a speed of 1 𝑚⁄𝑠. He stops at the point he arrives for 15 minutes to rest. Then he walks through West
for 2000 m in 45 minutes with constant acceleration.
a) calculate the distance taken by the student in east direction.
b) calculate the total distance taken by the student during the whole trip.
c) calculate the total displacement of the student.
d) calculate the average speed of the student.
e) calculate the average velocity of the student.
3) A car travels 60𝑘𝑚 due north and then 80𝑘𝑚 in a direction of 37! north of east. Its trip totally endured as 1ℎ. Find the car’s
a) resultant displacement, North
y
b) average speed,
c) average velocity. West East
O x
South
4) An object moving with uniform acceleration has a velocity of 6 𝑚⁄𝑠 in the positive x direction when its x coordinate is 3𝑚. If its x coordinate 2𝑠 later
is −5𝑚, what is its acceleration?
5) A bicycle, moves due east with a constant speed of 20 𝑘𝑚/ℎ for 240 minutes. He stops there and rests for 2 h and cycles back to West for 110 minutes
having a distance of 4500 m. Calculate the followings in SI unit system,
a) Total distance taken by the bicycle.
b) The displacement of the cycle.
c) Average speed of the bicycle.
d) Average velocity of the bicycle.
6) A truck covers 40𝑚 in 8.5𝑠 while smoothly slowing down to a final speed of 2.8 𝑚⁄𝑠 ,
a) Find its original speed.
b) Find its acceleration. Ans.:𝑣 = 6.6 𝑚⁄𝑠 , 𝑎⃗ = −0.45𝚤̂ 𝑚/𝑠 "
8) A student throws a set of keys vertically upwards to her sister, who is at at window 4𝑚 above. Her sister catches the keys, 5𝑠 after the were thrown;
a) With what initial velocity was the keys thrown?
b) What was the velocity of the keys just before they were caught?
9) A baseball is hit so that it travels straight upward after being stuck by the bat. A fan observes that it takes 3𝑠 for the ball to reach its maximum height.
