Work Sheet 2

1. A car having an initial velocity of 12 m/s east slows down

uniformly to 2 m/s east in 4.0 s. What is the acceleration of the
car?

2. A skier from rest skis straight down a slope 50 m long in 5.0 s.

What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the skier?

3. A roller coaster, travelling with an initial speed of 15 m/s,

decelerates uniformly at -7.0 m/s to a full stop. Approximately,
how far does the roller coaster travel during its deceleration?

4. A car travels due north in 15 s. Then the car turns around and
travels 40 m due south in 5,0 s. What is the magnitude of the
average velocity of the car during this 20 s interval?

5. A 400 – g ball is thrown vertically upward from the ground

and stays in air for 2.50 s. At what velocity was the ball
thrown? What is the maximum height reached by the ball?
