Word Problem Assignment: Kinematic Equations of Motion
Solve the following word problems using the appropriate kinematic
equations. Show all your work and include units in your final answers.
1. Problem: Accelerating Car
Sarah is driving her car along a straight road. The initial velocity of the car is 20 m/s, and it accelerates uniformly at 3 m/s². How long will it take for the car to reach a speed of 50 m/s?
2. Problem: Free Falling Object
Tom drops a ball from the top of a building that is 50 meters high. Assuming there is no air resistance, find the time it takes for the ball to hit the ground.
3. Problem: Projectile Motion
Emma throws a ball horizontally off a cliff that is 30 meters high. The ball's horizontal speed is 10 m/s. Calculate the time it takes for the ball to hit the ground and the horizontal distance it travels before hitting the ground.
4. Problem: Sliding Down the Ramp
Jake slides a box down a frictionless ramp that is inclined at an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal. The box starts from rest at the top of the 5-meter- long ramp and accelerates uniformly at 2 m/s². Determine the speed of the box when it reaches the bottom of the ramp.
Remember to plug in the appropriate values and units while solving the problems. Good luck!
