Mechanics (Kinematic Equations)

1. Define the term of velocity and acceleration.

2. Which of the below can be true at the same time?
I. Velocity: Constant; Acceleration: Constant
II. Velocity: Constant; Acceleration: Changing
III. Velocity: Changing; Acceleration: Constant
IV. Velocity: Changing; Acceleration: Changing

(i). I only (ii). II only (iii). IV only (iv). III and IV (v). I, III, and IV

3. Define the term of average velocity.

4. A car acquires a velocity of 20 ms-1 in 100 s starting from rest. Average velocity of the car
is,
5. A car acquires a velocity of 72 kmh-1 in 10 s starting from rest. Average velocity of the car
is in m/s,
6. A ball moving with a velocity of 5 ms-1. Its velocity is decreasing at the rate of 0.5ms-2.
What is its velocity after 5 s?
7. A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly over a time of 10 seconds for a distance of
100 m. Determine the acceleration of the car.
8. An airplane accelerates down a runway at 6 ms-2 for 30 s until is finally lifts off the ground.
Determine the distance traveled before takeoff.
9. A bicycle begins driving from a position with a constant velocity of 7 ms-1. Determine,
how much distance has it travelled during first 5 seconds.
10. A car begins driving from a stationary position. It accelerates at 4 ms-2 for 10 seconds, then
travels at a steady speed for another 10 seconds, all in the same direction. How much
distance has it covered since it started driving?

Mechanics (Kinematic Equations)

11. A lion starts at rest 26 m away from a clueless man and charges towards him at a constant
velocity of +50 km/h. It takes Jordan 1 s to react to the lion, turn around and begin running
at a velocity of +5 m/s towards his vehicle. Man's Land Rover is parked 6 m away from
him and on the same axis as the lion's charge.
If Jordan escapes, how far is lion from the Land Rover?

12. A stone is dropped into a deep well and is heard to hit the water 6 s after being dropped.
Determine the depth of the well. (gravitational acceleration = 10 ms-2)
