1. A bullet shot straight up returns to its starting point in 10 s. What is the initial speed of the bullet?
2. A car decelerates uniformly and comes to a stop after 10 s. The car's average velocity during deceleration was 50 km/h. What was the car's deceleration while slowing down?
3. A motorist travels 160 km at 80 km/h and 160 km at 100 km/h. What is the average speed of the motorist for this trip?
4. Suppose a can, after an initial kick, moves up along a smooth hill of ice. Make a statement concerning its acceleration.
5. Suppose that a car traveling to the West (-x directionbegins to slow down as it approaches a traffic light. Make a statement concerning its acceleration."
6. The slope of a velocity versus time graph gives
7. If the position versus time graph of an object is a vertical line, the object is
8. A boat can move at 30 km/h in still water. How long will it take to move 12 km upstream in a river flowing 6.0 km/h?
9. Suppose that a car traveling to the East (+x directionbegins to slow down as it approaches a traffic light. Make a statement concerning its acceleration."
10. Human reaction time is usually greater than 0.10 s. If your friend holds a ruler between your fingers and releases it without warning, how far can you expect the ruler to fall before you catch it?
11. A car traveling 60 km/h accelerates at the rate of 2.0 m/s2. How much time is required for the car to reach a speed of 90 km/h?
12. The slope of a position versus time graph gives
13. What must be your average speed in order to travel 350 km in 5.15 h?
14. A polar bear starts at the North Pole. It travels 1.0 km south, then 1.0 km east, then 1.0 km north, then 1.0 km west to return to its starting point. This trip takes 45 min. What was the bear's average velocity?
15. If the velocity of an object is zero, does it mean that the acceleration is zero? Support your answer with an example.
16. An object moves 15.0 m north and then 11.0 m south. Find both the distance traveled and the magnitude of the displacement vector.
17. If you run a complete loop around an outdoor track (400 m), in 100 s, your average velocity is
18. An object is moving with constant non-zero acceleration in the +x axis. The velocity versus time graph of this object is
19. Suppose that an object is moving with constant acceleration. Make a statement concerning its motion with respect to time.
20. If the velocity versus time graph of an object is a horizontal line, the object is
21. A ball is thrown vertically upward with a speed v. An identical second ball is thrown upward with a speed 2v (twice as fast). What is the ratio of the maximum height of the second ball to that of the first ball? (How many times higher does the second ball go than the first ball?)
22. Ball A is dropped from the top of a building. One second later, ball B is dropped from the same building. As time progresses, the difference in their speeds
23. When is the average velocity of an object equal to the instantaneous velocity?
24. Under what condition is average velocity equal to the average of the object's initial and final velocity?
25. A cart starts from rest and accelerates at 4.0 m/s2 for 5.0 s, then maintain that velocity for 10 s, and then decelerates at the rate of 2.0 m/s2 for 4.0 s. What is the final speed of the car?
