1) A model rocket is launched vertically with an engine that is ignited at time t = 0, as shown above. The engine provides an upward
acceleration of 30 m/s2 for 2.0 s. Upon reaching its maximum height, the rocket deploys a parachute, and then descends vertically
to the ground.

a. Determine the speed of the rocket after the 2 s firing of the engine.

b. What maximum height will the rocket reach?

2) An object moves in a straight line. The graph
shows the velocity as a function of time for the
object during a 25s interval. At time t = 0, the
object is at position x = 0.

a) On the grid below, sketch a graph of the

acceleration as a function of time for the
object. Be sure to label the scale for the
acceleration

b) What is the position of the object at t = 15s

3. A motorist travels 30 mins at 80 km/h and 1 hour at 100 km/h. What is the average speed of the motorist on this trip?

6. A 500-kilogram sports car accelerates uniformly from rest, reaching a speed of 30 meters per second in 6
seconds. During the 6 seconds, the car has traveled a distance of

7. A dog starts from rest and runs in a straight line with a constant acceleration of 2.5 m/s 2. How much time does
it take for the dog to run a distance of 10.0 m?

8. The position vs. time graph for an object moving in a straight line is shown below. What is the instantaneous
velocity at t = 2 s?
