    The document contains several examples of calculating acceleration, velocity, speed, distance, and time for objects moving with constant or changing motion. Examples include calculating the acceleration of a race car from its initial and final speeds over a time period, the acceleration of a rocket sled, and the maximum speeds reached by a two-stage rocket. Other examples show calculating average acceleration and average speed from changes in speed or distance over time. Graphs of distance vs time and velocity vs time are also used to determine acceleration, velocity, and distance at given times.

    Sci10 Motion Review

    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
    Ans: a = 11.2 m/s/s

    Rocket-powered sleds are used to test the human response to acceleration. If a rocket-powered sled is accelerated to
    a speed of 444 m/s in 1.83 seconds, then what is the acceleration. Ans. a = 243 m/s/s

    A two-stage rocket accelerates from rest at +3.57 m/s/s for 6.82 seconds. It then accelerates at +2.98 m/s/s for
    another 5.90 seconds. After the second stage, it enters into a state of free fall. Determine:
    • the maximum speed after the first stage Ans 24.3 m/s
    • the maximum speed after the second stage Ans 41.9 m/s

    A remote control car is driven along a straight track at 2 m/s. The child controlling the car then activates the toy's
    turbo mode so that, 3 seconds later, the car's speed is 3.2 m/s. Find its average acceleration. Ans 0.4 m/s/s

    Shortly after, the remote control car in the previous example exits turbo mode, slowing from 3.2 m/s back to 2 m/s
    in 2 seconds. Find the car's average acceleration over this interval. Ans -0.6 m/s/s

    One second after being thrown straight down, a rock is falling at 20 m/s. How fast will it be falling 2 seconds later?
    Ans -39.62 m/s

    Instantaneous Speed - the speed at any given instant in time.


    Average Speed - the average of all instantaneous speeds; found simply by a distance/time ratio.

    While on vacation, Lisa Carr traveled a total distance of 440 km. Her trip took 4 hours. What was her average
    speed? Ans 110 km/h

    A car travels at 25 m/s for 100 s. How far did the car travel? Ans 2500 m

    How long does it take a car to travel 250 km if it’s speed is 100 km/h? Ans 2.5 h

    Using both graphs below.


    What is the average velocity at 2.5 seconds? What is the instantaneous velocity at 2.5 seconds?
    Ans: -6.2 m/s, -17.5 m/s

    c.) Determine the object's average speed from t = 0 to t = 10. Ans 0.8 m/s
    d.) What is the object's acceleration at t = 5? Ans 0 m/s/s

    An object's velocity during a 10 second time interval is shown by the graph below:

    a.) Determine the object's total distance traveled.


    b.) At t = 0, the object's position is x = 2 m. Find the object's position at t = 2, t = 4, t = 7, and t = 10.
    c.) What is the object's acceleration at the following times: t = 1, t = 3, and t = 6.
    d.) Sketch the corresponding acceleration vs. time graph from t = 0 to t = 10.
