Q: A ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of $$15\ \mathrm{m/s}. $$What is the maximum height reached by the ball? (Take $$g = 9.8\ \mathrm{m/s^2$})$$

$$h = \frac{v^2$}{2g} = \frac{(15)^2$}{2 \times 9.8} = 11.5\ \mathrm{m}$$

Q: A stone is dropped from a height of $$45\ \mathrm{m}. $$How long does it take to reach the ground? (Take $$g = 9.8\ \mathrm{m/s^2$})$$

$$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 45}{9.8}} = 3.03\ \mathrm{s}$$

Q: A car travels $$100\ \mathrm{m} in$$ $$5\ \mathrm{s}$$ starting from rest with constant acceleration. What is the acceleration?

$$a = \frac{2s}{t^2$} = \frac{2 \times 100}{25} = 8\ \mathrm{m/s^2$}$$

Q: A runner accelerates from $$2\ \mathrm{m/s} to$$ $$8\ \mathrm{m/s} in$$ $$3\ \mathrm{s}. $$What is the displacement during this time?
