Textbook Quiz Review

Here are some textbook questions that you should work on for extra practice before the quiz. Make sure
that you check your answers at the back of the textbook (p.666).

• p.39 #3, 5
• p.54 #35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42

Quiz Review with Equations

1. An airplane starts from rest and accelerates forwards along a runway at 3.20 m/s2 for 32.8 s until it
finally takes off from the ground. Determine the distance traveled before takeoff.

(Ans. distance = 1721.34 m)

2. It was once recorded that a Jaguar car left skid marks that were 290 m in length. Assuming that the
Jaguar skidded to a stop with a constant acceleration of 3.90 m/s2 [backwards], determine the
speed of the Jaguar just before it started to skid.
(Ans. speed = 47.56 m/s)

3. With what speed in km/h must an object be thrown to reach a maximum height of 91.5 m? Ignore
air resistance.
(Ans. vi = 42.35 m/s = 152.46 km/hr)

4. A baseball is hit straight up and takes 3.5 s to reach its maximum height. What is the maximum
height of the ball?
(Ans. 60.03 m)

Quiz Review with Graphs – Please use graph paper for the graphs

1. Gus is initially driving through town at 25.0 m/s [E]. He begins to accelerate at a constant rate of 1.0
m/s2 [W]. Eventually Gus comes to a complete stop.
a) Represent Gus’ motion by sketching a velocity-time graph.
b) Use the velocity-time graph to generate data and plot a position-time graph. Assume that
Gus’ initial position is 0m. Show your work for the position-time graph by making a chart like
we did for the 1.4 lesson.
c) Use the velocity-time graph to generate data and plot an acceleration-time graph.

2. Otto is initially driving his car at 25.0 m/s [N]. Otto then accelerates at 2.0 m/s2 [N] for 5 seconds.
Next, he stops accelerating and maintains a constant velocity for 10.0 more seconds.
a) Represent the total 15 seconds of Otto’s motion by sketching a velocity-time graph.
b) Then, use the velocity-time graph to generate data and plot a position-time graph. Assume
that Otto’s initial position is 0m.
c) Use the velocity-time graph to generate data and plot an acceleration-time graph.

3. Given the velocity-time graph below, plot the corresponding P-T graph. Choose appropriate scales
for your axis. Assume the initial position is 0m. On a separate sheet of paper, show your work with
a chart like we did for the 1.4 lesson.
