    CP 1D Motion Practice Problems

    Distance and Displacement Problems: Draw out the path of the motions. Graph paper is very
    helpful.

    1. Michelle walks 100m toward the west, then turns and walks back the way she came 20m. What
    is her distance? What is her displacement?
    2. An Olympic runner competing in the 1600m circles the track exactly 4 times during a race. What
    is his distance? What is his displacement?
    3. A shopper walks forward 20m, turns right and walks 5m, turns left and walks in the original
    direction 10m, then turns left again for 5m. What is her distance? What is her displacement?
    4. Some hikers travel 2 km north, turn toward the west and travel 4km, turn toward the south
    and travel 6 km, then finally travel east for 4 km. What is their distance? What is their
    displacement?
    5. A skating rink is perfectly circular and it has a radius of 12m. A skater circles the rink on the
    outer edges near the wall. When the skater is half way around the circle what is her distance
    and what is her displacement?

    Answers: 1) 120m, 80m West. 2) 1600m, 0m. 3) 40m, 30m forward (positive). 4) 16m, 4km South. 5) 37m, 24m
    perpendicular to the positive direction

    Speed and Velocity Practice Problems

    1. A runner does a 10K (10 kilometers) in one hour. What is his speed in k/h? m/s?
    2. A ball rolls 8m in 2 sec. What is the ball’s speed?
    3. A cyclist travels 4km in 15min. What is her speed in m/s?
    4. A runner circles the track exactly 2 times for distance of 800m. It takes 4.0min. What is her
    average speed in m/s? What is her average velocity?
    5. A mom pushes a stroller up and down the mall with an average speed of .6m/s. How far will she
    go in 30 min?
    6. If the mom in problem #5 stops to sit on a bench located 20m to the east of her starting place,
    what was her average velocity during her 30min walk?
    7. A car averaged 20m/s on a road trip to a city 400km away. How long did the trip take?
    8. A tortoise can crawl 1.0m in 6 sec. What is his speed?
    9. A hare (rabbit) can run 2.5 m/s. If he runs for 36 sec, how far did he run?
    10. The tortoise and the hare were racing a distance of 100m. The hare stopped to take a nap 10m
    from the finish line and ended up losing the race. How long was his nap?

    Answers: 1) 10k/h, 2.8m/s 2) 4m/s 3) 4.4m/s 4) 3.3m/s, 0m/s 5) 1080m (1.08km) 6) .011 m/s East 7) 20,000sec (5.5 hr)
    8) .167m/s 9) 90m 10) at least 9min 20sec.

    uniform rate of acceleration?
    7. A skater is moving at 1.6m/s and then accelerates at .4m/s2 for 4 sec. How far did he travel
    during that motion?
    8. A car is moving 12 m/s and coasts up a hill with a uniform acceleration of –1.0 m/s2. How far
    has it traveled after 6.0 s?
    9. A plane travels 500 m while being accelerated uniformly from rest at the rate of 5.0 m/s2. What
    final velocity does it attain?
