ACTIVITY 1: Solve the following problems
using the Kinematics equations.
1. An airplane accelerates down a runway
at 3.20 m/s? for 32.8 seconds until is
finally lifts off the ground. Determine the
distance traveled before takeoff.
2. A car starts from rest and accelerates
uniformly over a time of 5.21 seconds for
a distance of 110 meters. Determine the
acceleration of the car.
3. Upton Chuck is riding the Giant Drop at
Great America. If Upton free falls for 2.60
seconds, what will be his final velocity
and how far will he fall?
4. A race car accelerates uniformly from
18.5 m/s to 46.1 m/s in 2.47 seconds.
Determine the acceleration of the car
and the distance traveled.
