    EQUATIONS:
    Speed: Acceleration:

    Now try on your own SHOWING ALL WORK AND CORRECT UNITS (like in above examples):

    SPEED AND VELOCITY

    1. What is the speed of a rocket that travels 9000 meters in 12.12 seconds?

    2. What is the speed of a jet plane that travels 528 meters in 4 seconds?

    3. How long will your trip take (in hours) if you travel 350 km at an average speed of 80 km/hr?

    4. How far (in meters) will you travel in 3 minutes running at a rate of 6 m/s?

    5. A trip to Cape Canaveral, Florida takes 10 hours. The distance is 816 km. Calculate the average speed.

    6. How many seconds will it take for a satellite to travel 450 km at a rate of 120 m/s?

    7. What is the speed of a walking person in m/s if the person travels 1000 m in 20 minutes?

    ACCELERATION

    8. A ball rolls down a ramp for 15 seconds. If the initial velocity of the ball was 0.8 m/sec and the
    final velocity was 7 m/sec, what was the acceleration of the ball ?

    9. A meteoroid changed velocity from 1.0 km/s to 1.8 km/s in 0.03 seconds. What is the acceleration of the meteoroid?

    10. A car going 50mph accelerates to pass a truck. Five seconds later the car is going 80mph. Calculate the
    acceleration of the car.
    11. The space shuttle releases a space telescope into orbit around the earth. The telescope goes from
    being stationary to traveling at a speed of 1700 m/s in 25 seconds. What is the acceleration of
    the satellite?

    12. A ball is rolled at a velocity of 12 m/sec. After 36 seconds, it comes to a stop. What is the acceleration of the ball?

    13. A dragster in a race accelerated from stop to 60 m/s by the time it reached the finish line. The
    dragster moved in a straight line and traveled from the starting line to the finish line in 8.0
    sec. What was the acceleration of the dragster?
