MOTION EXERCISES

1. Which is greater – a speed of 24 km/h or a speed of 12.8 m/s?

2. Ron covers a distance of 1710 m in 3 minutes. Find his speed in km/h.

3. Calculates the speed of a car that drives 1450 Km in 20 hours.

4. If the speed of a sound is 340 m/s, how far from us would a person be if it
takes us 5 s to hear her cries?

5. A cyclist starts off from an origin with a rectilinear trajectory and at speed of
32 km/h. When the position of the object is 250 m?

6. This is the graph of a journey by sports car:

a. What is the velocity for each stage of the journey?

b. What is the average (mean) velocity for the whole journey?

7. A racing car increases its speed from 18.5 m/s to 46.1 m/s in 2.47 seconds.
What will its average acceleration be?

8. A motorcyclist travels at 22.4 m/s and realizes that he has mistaken the route.
Apply the brakes and the motorcycle stops in 2.55 s. What will be its
slowdown?

9. A train going at 108 km/h must reduce its speed to 72 km/h while it is going
over a bridge. If it performs the operation in 5 seconds, what is the
acceleration?

10. An object moves at a speed of 135 km/h when it experiences an acceleration

of 3.6 m/s². Its velocity after acceleration is 150 km/h.
How long has it taken to make that change?

11. A cyclist is at the end of the stage and marches at 22 km/h but he looks back
and sees that two rivals are chasing him. If it takes six seconds to sprint up to
35 km/h, what is the acceleration it is capable of developing?

12. The speed of a mobile changes from 180 km/h to 100 km/h, during a journey.
If the acceleration is 2 m/s², calculate the time it takes to travel that distance.
