Q1:
An object moves along the x-axis, its position measured at each instant of
time. The data are organized into an accurate graph of x vs. t. Which of the
following quantities cannot be obtained from this graph?
Q2:
A ball is thrown directly downward with an initial speed of 8.00 m/s, from a height of
30.0 m. After what time interval does it strike the ground?
Ans:
vy 2 = v0y 2 + 2ay (∆y) ⇒ vy = �v0y 2 + 2𝑎𝑦 ∆y = �82 + 2(−9.8)(−30)
vy = −25.5 m/s
vy − v0y −25.5 − (−8)
vy = v0y − gt ⇒ t = = = 1.79 s
−g −9.8
Q3:
A truck covers 40.0 m in 8.50 s while uniformly slowing down to a final velocity of
2.80 m/s. Find its acceleration?
Ans:
1
X − Xf = vf t − at 2 (table 2 − 1 , page 23)
2
1
40 = (2.8)(8.5) − a (8.5)2
2
⇒ a = −0.448 m/s2
