This document contains 4 physics problems involving uniformly accelerated motion in either the horizontal or vertical dimension. The first two problems deal with horizontal motion: finding the time for an object to travel 20m at 10 m/s^2 acceleration, and determining the acceleration of a sports car that travels 120m over 4 seconds. The second two problems involve vertical motion: calculating the takeoff speed of a kangaroo that jumps to a height of 2.62m, and determining the fall time of a ball dropped from 1.5m on the moon where gravity is 1.62 m/s^2.

A. UNIFORMLY ACCLERATED MOTION: HORIZONTAL DIMENSION
1. An individual starting at rest travels 20m at a constant acceleration of 10 m/s2. How long does this take? 2. A Lamborghini Adventor starts from rest and accelerates uniformly for a distance of 120 m over a time of 4 seconds. What is the acceleration of the sports car? B. UNIFORMLY ACCELERATEDMOTION: VERTICAL DIMENSION 1. A kangaroo is capable of jumping to a height of 2.62 m. Determine the takeoff speed of the kangaroo. (note that the final velocity is 0m/s) 2. The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.62 m/s2. If a ball is dropped on the moon from a height of 1.50 m, determine the time for the ball to fall to the surface of the moon.
