Constant Acceleration Problems For each of the following
Constant Acceleration Problems For each of the following problems, you MUST use the following process: 1. Make a list of the knowns and unknowns. 2. Give the equation that will be used. 3. Solve the equation for the desired variable. 4. Substitute in values. 5. Check your work for units and sig figs.
You have six minutes… #1. A racecar starting from rest experiences uniform acceleration and acquires a velocity of 120. 0 m/s in 9. 00 s. Determine its acceleration and displacement during this time.
You have five minutes… #2. A train starting from rest is uniformly accelerated to a velocity of 301 m/s in 2. 00 minutes. Determine its acceleration and displacement during this time.
You have five minutes… #3. A car brakes to a stop with uniform acceleration from 50. 0 m/s in 30. 0 s. What acceleration did the car experience? What was the car’s displacement once it finally stopped?
You have four minutes… #4. A train starts from rest and experiences a constant acceleration for 75 s. If it attains a velocity of 100. 0 km/hr, what is the acceleration in m/s 2?
You have four minutes… #5. Starting from rest, a car uniformly accelerates and travels a distance of 600. 0 m in 2. 00 s. What was the acceleration experienced by the car? What was the final velocity acquired by the car?
You have four minutes… #6. A truck traveling at 100. 0 m/s has its brakes suddenly applied and comes to rest after traveling 2000. 0 m. What uniform acceleration did the truck experience? How much time was required for the truck to come to rest?
You have four minutes… #7. A body moves from rest with a constant acceleration of 8. 0 m/s 2. What is its velocity at the end of 5. 0 s? What is the displacement in 5. 0 s?
You have four minutes… #8. A jet plane starting from rest at one end of a runway undergoes a constant acceleration of 1. 6 m/s 2 for a distance of 1200 m before liftoff. What was the liftoff velocity of the plane? How much time is required for this?
You have four minutes… #9. A sled starting from rest slides down an inclined plane with uniform acceleration and travels a distance of 9. 0 m down the plane in 3. 0 s. What acceleration did the sled experience? How much time will be required for it to attain a final velocity of 24 m/s?
