Accepted Answer

$$44.1\,\mathrm{m}$$

Question 8

A motorcyclist moves east at $$15\,\mathrm{m/s}$$ and accelerates at $$4.0\,\mathrm{m/s^2$}$$ for $$2.0\,\mathrm{s}. $$What is his velocity at the end of this interval?

Accepted Answer

$$v_x = 23.0\,\mathrm{m/s}$$

Question 9

A police officer starts from rest and accelerates at $$3.0\,\mathrm{m/s^2$} in $$pursuit of a car moving at $$15\,\mathrm{m/s}. $$How long does it take for the officer to catch up with the car?

Accepted Answer

$$15\,\mathrm{s}$$

Question 10

Which of the following is the correct equation for the position $$x of a $$particle moving with constant acceleration $$a_x$$?

Accepted Answer

$$x = x_0$ + v$$_{0x}$$t + \frac{1}{2}a_xt^2$

Question 11

A ball is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of $$12\,\mathrm{m/s}. $$How long does it take to reach its maximum height? (Take $$g = 9.8\,\mathrm{m/s^2$}$$ downward.)

Accepted Answer

$$1.22\,\mathrm{s}$$

Question 12

Which of the following best describes the acceleration of a freely falling object near Earth's surface (neglecting air resistance)?

Accepted Answer

It is constant and directed downward.

Question 13

A car's velocity changes from $$10\,\mathrm{m/s} to$$ $$30\,\mathrm{m/s} in$$ $$5.0\,\mathrm{s}. $$What is its average acceleration?

Accepted Answer

$$4.0\,\mathrm{m/s^2$}$$

Question 14

A position-time graph for a moving object is a straight line with a positive slope. What does this indicate about the object's motion?

Accepted Answer

The object moves with constant positive velocity.

Question 15

A ball is thrown downward from a building with an initial velocity of $$5.0\,\mathrm{m/s}. $$How fast is it moving after $$2.0\,\mathrm{s}$$? (Take $$g = 9.8\,\mathrm{m/s^2$}$$ downward.)

Accepted Answer

$$24.6\,\mathrm{m/s}$$

Question 16

Accepted Answer

$$0\,\mathrm{km/h}$$

Question 18

A particle moves along the x-axis with velocity $$v_x = 6.0\,\mathrm{m/s} - (2.0\,\mathrm{m/s^2$})t. At $$what time does the particle come to rest?

Accepted Answer
