AINEE JOY HINUGUIN – PHYS101L(1264)

Let’s Analyze 3
Solve the following problems

1. Joy went one weekend. She covered a total distance of 140 km in 7 hours. At the
end of her drive, she returned back to where she started. What was her average
velocity for the trip?

2. On your way to school, the vehicle you are riding travels 5 km east, then 3 km
south. The total time of your travel is 30 min. What is your a.) Average speed
b.) Average velocity?
3. A car takes 35 s to travel 45m due east and 25 m due west. What is its average
velocity? Which is greater: the magnitude of the average velocity or its average

speed? Explain.

 Therefore, the average speed is greater than average velocity because it

returned to a positive value.

4. A car starts from rest and reaches a velocity of 10 m/s in 5 seconds.

a. What is its acceleration?

b. If its acceleration remains the same, what will be its velocity after 15

seconds?
5. Find the acceleration of a bicycle slowing from 3 m/s to a stop in 6 seconds.

6. A Nissan Sentra is stopped at a traffic light. When the light turns green, the car
accelerates so that the car’s speedometer reads 12 m/s after 6 s. What is the

car’s acceleration assuming it is constant?

7. A particle moving with uniform acceleration in a straight line was first observed to

be moving at 7 m/s from rest after 3 s. Find its acceleration.

8. A racer accelerates from rest at a constant rate of 3 m/s 2. a.) How fast will the
racer be going at the end of 8.0s? b.) How far has the racer traveled during this

time?
9. A car has uniformly accelerated from rest to speed of 35 m/s after traveling 75 m.
What is its acceleration?

10. A motorcyclist heading east through Cotabato city accelerates after he passes the signpost marking the city limits. His acceleration is a

2
. At time t = 0 he is 6.0 m east of the signpost, moving east at 20 m/s.
constant 5.0 m/s
a.) Find his position and velocity at t = 3 s. b.) Where is the motorcyclist when his
velocity is 28 m/s?
