MOTION IN ONE DIMENSION

1. An archer of the Philippine Team practices daily in arrow shooting. One time she
experimented shooting vertically upward with a velocity of 29.4 m/s. One second
later, she shoots another arrow with the same speed and direction as the first arrow.
Will the two arrows meet? If so, where, and when?
2. A scene at the Northern Luzon Expressway: A Mitsubishi Pajero moving 100 km/hr
is 0.5 km behind a Honda CR-V moving in the same direction at 60 km/hr.
a. How far does the Pajero travel before it catches upon the CR-V?
b. How long will the Pajero take to catch the CR-V?

3. Two runners John and Paul of the track and field event started from the same
starting line and both will run a distance of 400 meters. John run the race in 60
seconds while Paul run the race in 70 seconds. If the two runners started at the same
time, how far apart will they be at the finish of the race?

4. Lydia de Vega is one of our famous sprinters in the early 80’s. She accelerated to her
maximum speed in 4 s. She then maintains this speed with a total time of 9.1 s.
a. What is her average acceleration during the first 4 s?
b. What is her average acceleration during the last 5.1 s?

5. The velocity time graph in the figure represents the motion of a patrolling police car
in a certain area.
a. Find the acceleration at time t = 25 s and t = 35 s
b. What is the total distance covered?
Graph:

6. An object is thrown upward with an initial speed of 16 m/s.

a. What will its maximum height be?
b. When will it return to the ground?
c. Where will it be in 0.9 s? 2.5 s?

7. An object is dropped from the window of a building 300 m high.

a. How long does the object take to reach the ground?
b. What is its velocity when it strikes the ground?
8. The speedometer reading are obtained and graphed as a car comes to a stop along a
straight - line path. How far does the car move between t = 0 and t = 20 s?
Graph:

9. Jason drives due west with a speed of 36 km/hr for 0.5 hr then continues in the same
direction with a speed of 54 km/hr for 1 hr, then drives farther west at 24 km/hr for
0.3 hr. What is Jason’s average velocity?
