GENERAL DIRECTIONS: Write all the problems with solutions on a clean sheet/s paper
(yellow paper or bond paper). Your answer sheets should be scanned or photographed, pasted on
a WORD Document, SAVED as PDF File, named in this FORMAT
(Surname_FirstName_ProblemSets1_Part1) and be submitted in our Google Classroom. For the
final answer, follow the rules on significant figures.

1. A car starting at initial velocity of 95.0 m/s is accelerating at 15.5 m/s2. How long will it
take for a car to travel a distance of 10.0 kilometers?
2. From a speed of 80.0 m/s, a car decelerates at the rate of 3.50 m/s2 along a straight path.
How far in meters will it travel in 20.0 seconds?
3. A train is moving at a speed of 75.0 m/s and travels a distance of 625 meters where its
speed drops to 3.0 m/s. What is the acceleration of the train?
4. A train is accelerating at 15.0 m/s2 and travels a distance of 955 meters where its
speedometer reads 175.0 m/s. What is the initial velocity of the train?
5. A bus is moving at a speed of 90.0 m/s begins to slow at a constant rate of 3.00 m/s each
second. Find how far it goes before stopping.
6. A bag is dropped from a balloon that is 255 m above the ground and is declining at 5.00
m/s. Find the acceleration due to gravity of the bag when it hits the ground.
7. A bag is dropped from a balloon that is 255 m above the ground and is declining at 5.00
m/s. Compute the velocity of the bag after 1.50 seconds of its released.
8. A bag is dropped from a balloon that is 255 m above the ground and is declining at 5.00
m/s. Compute the time at which the bag hits the ground.
9. A baseball is thrown straight upward on the Moon with an initial speed of 35.0 m/s.
Compute the maximum height reached by the ball.
10. A baseball is thrown straight upward on the Moon with an initial speed of 35.0 m/s.
Compute the time taken to reached the maximum height.
