Equation of linear motion

v= u+ at
S= (u+v)t
2
S= ut + at

v2 = u2 + 2as

Starting from rest, a sprinter

reaches his top velocity in 3
seconds. He runs a distance of
24m in 3 seconds. What is his
acceleration?

The velocity of a rocket travelling at

-1
-1
200ms increases to 600ms after
moves through a distance of 80km.
Calculate the time of the rocket to
reach its velocity.

Salina is driving at a velocity of

-1
10ms . Seeing a cow in front,
she brakes to stop her car. If the
-2
deceleration of the car is 2ms ,
what is the distance the car cover
before it comes to a halt?

By applying the brakes, a driver

reduces the velocity of his car
-1
-1
from 20ms to 10ms after a
distance of 30m. Calculate the
deceleration of the car.

When a dart is blown from a

blowpipe of 1.2m length, it travels
-1
at a speed of 15ms . Find the
time taken for the dart to travel in
the barrel.

Daniel drives his car at a constant

-1
velocity of 20ms . He steps on his
brakes to reduce the velocity of the
-1
car to 10ms after travelling 30m.
Calculate the deceleration and the
further distance covered before the
car stop.
