travelling a distance of 100 m.
2. A ball is thrown upwards with a velocity of 5 ms-1. Calculate its velocity after 15 s.
3. A space ship travelling at 100ms-1 is slowed down by a rocket motor to a final velocity
of 10 ms-1 in 20 s. Calculate the acceleration of the spaceship.
a = (v-u)/t
s = ut + 1/2at2
v2 = u2 + 2as
s=(u + v)t/2
