1. An object of mass 5g is taken to a height 25 m from the ground.

Use the constant gravity for

solving for the potential energy.

U= mgh = (5/1000)(25)(9.81)=1.23

2. Bucket 1 has a mass of 2 kg and Bucket 2 has a mass of 4000 g. Both buckets are are moving
with the same momentum of 2000 g/m s. What is the Kinetic Energy of the Bucket 1.
K.E. = ½ mv^2
Bucket 1: K.E. = ½ (2)((2000/1000)/2)^2 = 1

3. You have a different rock with a volume of 3m3 and a mass of 60g. What is its density?
P=(60/1000)/3=0.02

4. You have holding two bucket of water, with a volume of 3m3 and 1.5m3. Both buckets have a
mass of 60g. What is combine density of the two buckets?
P1=(60/1000)/3=0.02
P2=(60/1000)/1.5=0.04
PT = 0.02+0.04 = 0.06
5. An airplane accelerates down a runway at 3.20 m/s2 for 32.8 s until is finally lifts off the ground.
Determine the distance traveled before takeoff
d = vi*t + 0.5*a*t2
d = (0 m/s)*(32.8 s)+ 0.5*(3.20 m/s2)*(32.8 s)2
d = 1721.34
6. A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly over a time of 5.21 seconds for a distance of
110 m. Determine the acceleration of the car.

d = vi*t + 0.5*a*t2
110 m = (0 m/s)*(5.21 s)+ 0.5*(a)*(5.21 s) 2
110 m = (13.57 s2)*a
a = (110 m)/(13.57 s2)
a = 8.11 m/ s2

7. A bike accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 7.10 m/s over a distance of 35.4 m.
Determine the acceleration of the bike.

vf2 = vi2 + 2*a*d

(7.10 m/s)2 = (0 m/s)2 + 2*(a)*(35.4 m)
50.4 m2/s2 = (0 m/s)2 + (70.8 m)*a
(50.4 m2/s2)/(70.8 m) = a
a = 0.71 m/s2

8. An engineer is designing the runway for an airport. Of the planes that will use the airport, the
lowest acceleration rate is likely to be 3 m/s2. The takeoff speed for this plane will be 65 m/s.
Assuming this minimum acceleration, what is the minimum allowed length for the runway.

vf2 = vi2 + 2*a*d

(65 m/s)2 = (0 m/s)2 + 2*(3 m/s2)*d
4225 m2/s2 = (0 m/s)2 + (6 m/s2)*d
(4225 m2/s2)/(6 m/s2) = d
d = 704.17 m
9. 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.

a = (Delta v)/t
a = (46.1 m/s - 18.5 m/s)/(2.47 s)
a = 11.17 m/s2
d = vi*t + 0.5*a*t2
d = (18.5 m/s)*(2.47 s)+ 0.5*(11.2 m/s2)*(2.47 s)2
d = 45.7 m + 34.1 m
d = 79.86 m or 79.80 m

10. A baseball is popped straight up into the air and has a hang-time of 6.25 s. Determine the height
to which the ball rises before it reaches its peak. (Hint: the time to rise to the peak is one-half
the total hang-time.)

First use: vf = vi + a*t

0 m/s = vi + (-9.8 m/s2)*(3.13 s)
0 m/s = vi - 30.7 m/s
vi = 30.7 m/s (30.674 m/s)
Now use: vf2 = vi2 + 2*a*d
(0 m/s)2 = (30.7 m/s)2 + 2*(-9.8 m/s2)*(d)
0 m2/s2 = (940 m2/s2) + (-19.6 m/s2)*d
-940 m2/s2 = (-19.6 m/s2)*d
(-940 m2/s2)/(-19.6 m/s2) = d
d = 47.95 m

11. 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 and
what is the distance that the sled travels?

a = (Delta v)/t
a = (444 m/s - 0 m/s)/(1.83 s)
a = 242.62 m/s2
d = vi*t + 0.5*a*t2
d = (0 m/s)*(1.83 s)+ 0.5*(243 m/s2)*(1.83 s)2
d = 0 m + 406 m
d = 406.89 m
