UAM Exercises:
x-direction
Rosie is moving with a uniform acceleration and has a velocity of 12.0 cm/s in the
positive x-direction when her x-coordinate is 3.00 cm. If her x-coordinate 2.00 s later is -
what is her acceleration?
5.00 cm,
2. Pixel is wandering around the house when she gets a case of what can only be described
as the rips. She runs through the house and then finally begins to slow down for 6.0s to
1.5 m/s. a) If Pixel's displacement during this time is 19.5 m, what was her initial
velocity when she started slowing down? b) What is her acceleration during the slow
down?
(3.) A motorcyclist starts from rest and travels for 10.0 s with a uniform acceleration of
+1.25 m/s². The motorcyclist then applies the brakes, causing a uniform acceleration of
-0.75 m/s². If the brakes are applied for 4.0 s, a) How fast is the motorcycle going at the
end of the braking period, and b) how far has the motorcycle traveled?
