f. A race car accelerates uniformly from 10. m/s to 30. l. James throws a tennis ball upward at 10 m/s, (a)
m/s in 4.0 seconds. Determine the acceleration and how high will the ball reach? (b) How long will it
the average speed of the car. take for the ball to fall back to him? (c) What’s the
speed of the ball when it falls back?

g. A race car accelerates uniformly from 18.5 m/s to

m. Mr. Lin is falling into the ocean from a cliff of
46.1 m/s in 2.47 seconds. Determine the
1000-meter height, a) how long will it take for Mr.
acceleration of the car and the distance traveled.
Lin to reach the surface of water? b) What is Mr.
Lin’s speed right before he falls into the water?

h. An airplane accelerates down a runway at 3.20

m/s2 for 32.8 s until it finally lifts off the ground.
Determine the distance traveled before take-off.
n. John found a hazard road condition 100-meter in
front of him. If his car is moving at 10 m/s, (a)
what’s the minimum constant acceleration required
to avoid the danger? (b) How long will it take for
his car to be fully stopped under such acceleration?
i. A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly for
5.21 seconds over a distance of 110 m. Determine
the acceleration of the car.

o. Olivia’s car moves at 20 m/s while Victoria’s

moves at 40 m/s. Both cars are designed to
j. A plane has a take-off speed of 100 m/s and requires decelerate at 5 m/s2 when the brakes are engaged.
1000 m to reach that speed. Determine (a) the a) What’re the skid distances for both cars? b)
acceleration of the plane and (b) the time taken to Compare their speeds and skid distances. What
reach the take-off speed. kind of conclusion can you draw?

k. Jonathan tries to stop his car to prevent a collision

while his car is moving at 40 m/s. The maximum
deceleration the brake can provide is 10 m/s2.
p. A truck accelerates evenly from rest until its speed
(a) What is the minimum skid distance for his car?
(b) Sketch a graph of skid distance vs. velocity of reaches 20 m/s. The truck then continues running at
the car. 20 m/s until it finishes the 600 m trip. The total time
for the trip is 40 seconds. How long did it take the
truck to reach its maximum speed?
