1. A speeding bus is travelling at a constant speed of 10 m s-1 on a straight road. It passes a stationary car
which immediately accelerates from rest with an acceleration of 2.5 m s-2. Calculate the time it takes for the
car to overtake the bus.

2. a) Use these equations of motion

𝑠 = (𝑢 + 𝑣) 𝑡 and 𝑣 = 𝑢 + 𝑎𝑡

where s = displacement, u = initial velocity, v = final velocity, t = time and a = acceleration to obtain an
expression for
i. a in terms of u, v and s only
ii. s in terms of u, a and t only.

(b) The graph shows the motion of a particle.

Based on the graph,

i. explain the motion of the particle,
ii. determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the particle,
iii. (iii) calculate the displacement of the particle from its position at t = 0.

(c) The diagram shows a trolley accelerating on a straight runway from point A to point C.
i. Explain how you would measure the average speed of the trolley.
ii. The speed of the trolley is 4.21 m s-1 when it passes point C with an acceleration of 0.16 m s-2. If the
distance from B to C is 1.50 m, calculate the speed of the trolley when it passes point B.

3. An object accelerates uniformly from rest to a velocity of 25.0 m s-1 in 100.0 s along a straight road. It then
decelerates uniformly at 0.200 ms-2 for another 60.0 s. Find the
(a) initial acceleration
(b) final velocity after decelerating
(c) total change in displacement

5. An object is projected with an initial velocity of 20.0 m s-1 and at an angle of 30° to the horizontal.
Assuming that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m s-2, find the
(a) maximum height reached,
(b) time of the flight,
(c) range of the object

6. (a) What is meant by projectile motion?

(b) A ball is thrown downward, at 30° below the horizontal from a stage of height 2.0 m. It reaches the floor
after 0.2 s.
i. Determine the initial speed of the ball.
ii. Calculate the distance of the ball from the stage.
iii. Calculate the velocity of the ball when it reaches the floor.
iv. If the ball is projected horizontally from the stage with the same speed, compare the speed of the
ball to reach the floor with that in (b)(iii).
