Practice Questions

Question 1

A car accelerates uniformly from a speed of $20.0 \text{ m/s}$ to $40.0 \text{ m/s}$ over a distance of $200.0 \text{ m}$. What is the acceleration of the car?

Question 2

An object starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at $4.0 \text{ m/s}^2$. How far does it travel in $5.0 \text{ seconds}$?

Question 3

A ball is thrown upwards with an initial velocity of $15.0 \text{ m/s}$. How long does it take to reach its highest point? (Assume $g = 9.8 \text{ m/s}^2$ downwards)

Question 4

A car moving at $25.0 \text{ m/s}$ applies brakes and decelerates at $5.0 \text{ m/s}^2$. How far does it travel before stopping?

Question 5

An object is dropped from a height of $45.0 \text{ m}$. How long does it take to hit the ground? (Assume $g = 9.8 \text{ m/s}^2$)
