1. Suppose a skydiver jumps from a high-flying plane. What is her acceleration when she she reaches terminal velocity?
2. 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."
3. In a 400-m relay race the anchorman (the person who runs the last 100 m for team A can run m in 9.8 s. His rival, the anchorman for team B, can cover 100 m in 10.1 s. What is the largest lead the team B runner can have when the team A runner starts the final leg of the race, in order that the team A runner not lose the race?
4. 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?

6. An object starts from rest and undergoes uniform acceleration. During the first second it travels 5.0 m. How far will it travel during the third second?
7. Suppose a ball is thrown downward in the absence of air resistance. Make a statement concerning its acceleration.
8. Suppose a can, after an initial kick, moves up along a smooth hill of ice. Make a statement concerning its acceleration.
9. An object is thrown upward with a speed of 14 m/s on the surface of planet X where the acceleration due to gravity is 3.5 m/s2. What is the speed of the object after 8.0 s?

12. 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?)
13. Suppose that an object travels from one point in space to another. Make a comparison between the displacement and the distance traveled.
14. If the position versus time graph of an object is a vertical line, the object is
15. If you are driving 72 km/h along a straight road and you look to the side for 4.0 s, how far do you travel during this inattentive period?
16. A runner ran the marathon (approximately 42.0 kmin 2 hours and 57 min. What is the average speed of the runner in m/s?"

18. A new car manufacturer advertises that their car can go from zero to sixty in 8 s". This is a description of"
19. A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 3.0 m/s2. A second car starts from rest 6.0 s later at the same point and accelerates uniformly at 5.0 m/s2. How long does it take the second car to overtake the first car?
20. An object is moving with constant non-zero acceleration in the +x axis. The velocity versus time graph of this object is
21. Two objects are thrown from the top of a tall building. One is thrown up, and the other is thrown down, both with the same initial speed. What are their speeds when they hit the street?
22. A motorist travels for 3.0 h at 80 km/h and 2.0 h at 100 km/h. What is her average speed for the trip?
23. Suppose a ball is thrown straight up, reaches a maximum height, then falls to its initial height. Make a statement about the direction of the velocity and acceleration as the ball is going up.
24. A car travels at 15 m/s for 10 s. It then speeds up with a constant acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 for 15 s. At the end of this time, what is its velocity?
