1. An athlete covers a distance of 1250.0 m in 5 minutes and 35.2 seconds. What is the athlete’s average velocity? 2. Your odometer reads 23 552.6 miles when you begin a trip at 8:17am. If your average speed is 58/4 miles per hour, and you travel until 3:22 pm, what does the odometer read now? 3. It takes you 12.2 seconds to accelerate from rest to a speed of 125 km/h in your sports car. A) What distance do you travel in this time? B) What is your average speed for this time interval? 4. You are on top of a building that is 55.0m tall. You toss a ball straight up. It travels 35.0 m up before it stops and falls back down. A) What was the ball’s initial velocity? B) If it falls all the way down to the ground below, how much time is it in the air?

1. An athlete covers a distance of 1250.0 m in 5 minutes and 35.2 seconds. What is

the athlete’s average velocity?

2. Your odometer reads 23 552.6 miles when you begin a trip at 8:17am. If your

average speed is 58/4 miles per hour, and you travel until 3:22 pm, what does

the odometer read now?

3. It takes you 12.2 seconds to accelerate from rest to a speed of 125 km/h in your

sports car.

A) What distance do you travel in this time?

B) What is your average speed for this time interval?

4. You are on top of a building that is 55.0m tall. You toss a ball straight up. It

travels 35.0 m up before it stops and falls back down.

A) What was the ball’s initial velocity?

B) If it falls all the way down to the ground below, how much time is it in the air?

5. You travel down the highway, starting from rest. You travel for 2.0 hours at a

speed of 70 mi/h. Then you stop and eat lunch for 30.0min. Then you travel for 1

hour and 30 min at 85mi/h. Sketch a distance vs time graph of this motion.

6. A car travels down a section of road. A velocity vs time graph illustrating its

motion is below. A) Indicate every time where the car is at rest. B) What is the

acceleration for the first 10 minutes? C) What is the acceleration between 10

minutes and 15 minutes? D) What is the acceleration from 30 minutes to 40

minutes?

7. A ball starts at rest and rolls down a ramp and travels a distance of 3.00m in 2.05

s. A) What is the ball’s acceleration? B) What is the ball’s final speed at the

bottom of the ramp? C) What is the ball’s average speed down the ramp?
