Let vectors P and Q represent the initial and final velocities respectively of a particle over a 4.0s time
interval. Find the magnitude of the average acceleration during this time interval. The spare bit of grid
is there for your convenience.
a. v1 + v3 = v 2 b. v1 + v 2 = v3 c. v1 − v 2 = v3 d. v 2 + v3 = v 2
3. A vehicle traveling north at 9.0m/s changes its velocity to 12m/s west. Which one of the following best
represents its change in velocity?
a. b. c. d.
5. A plane heads 42 degrees E of N at 275m/s. What is the component of its velocity that is directed
North?
6. A rock is thrown from a level field with an initial vertical component of 19.6m/s and a horizontal
component of 9.8m/s. If frictional forces are considered negligible, what is the horizontal speed of the
ball at the top of its path?
7. For question #6, what is the maximum height achieved by the rock?
8. For question #6, what is the distance from the launch point that the rock achieves?
10. A missile is fired horizontally from the top of a 78.4m building with an initial velocity of 50.0m/s Its
horizontal range will be:
a. 392m
b. 158.8m
c. 200m
d. 98m
12. A car travels 10.0km due east and then 12km in a direction of 45 degrees N of W. What is the
magnitude of the cars displacement?
13. A plane heads north with an airspeed of 420km/h. However, relative to the ground it travels in a
direction of 7 degrees W of N. If the wind is blowing towards the Northwest (45 degrees N of W), what
is the wind’s speed?
14. What is the magnitude of the final displacement of a car which travels 10km S, 2km W, and then 5km at
30 degrees North of East?
15. A boat crosses a river and aims at right angles to the shore. The speed of the boat relative to the water is
15.0km/h but there is a current parallel to the shore of 12.0km/h. What is the speed of the boat relative
to the shore?
a. 3.0km/h b. 9.0km/h c. 19.2km/h d. 27.0km/h
16. An airplane with an airspeed of 420km/h is heading due north. If there is a wind blowing due east with
a speed of 120km/h, what is the direction of the plane relative to the ground?
a. b. c. d. e.
18. A ball is projected vertically with a velocity of 60m/s. How long will it be until the ball reaches the top
of its flight?
19. A ball is thrown downwards from the edge of a cliff 25meters high. If the initial velocity was 32m/s,
what is its speed when it hits the ground?
20. An aircraft with an airspeed of 250km/h heads 19 degrees east of north. When it encounters a wind, its
velocity relative to the ground becomes 260km/h due north. What is the velocity of the wind? (speed
and direction)
