Accelerated Motion
Question 1.
A robot named Fred is initially moving at 2.20 m/s along a hallway in a space terminal. It subsequently speeds up
to 4.80 m/s in a time of 0.20 s. Determine the size or magnitude of its average acceleration along the path travelled.
Question 2.

An object starts from rest with a constant acceleration of 8.00 m/s2 along a straight line. Find (a) the speed at the
end of 5.00 s, (b) the average speed for the 5-s interval, and (c) the distance travelled in the 5.00 s.

Question 3.
A skier starts from rest and slides down a mountainside along a straight descending path 9.0 m long in 3.0 s. In
what time after starting will the skier acquire a speed of 24 m/s? Assume that the acceleration is constant and the
entire run is straight, at a fixed incline, and around 1.0-km long.

Question 4.
A stone is thrown straight upward with a speed of 20 m/s. It is caught on its way down at a point 5.0 m above
where it was thrown. (a) How fast was it going when it was caught? (b) How long did the trip take?
Question 5.

A ballast bag is dropped from a balloon that is 300 m above the ground and rising at 13 m/s. For the bag, find (a)
the maximum height reached, (b) its position and velocity 5.0 s after it is released, and (c) the time at which it hits
the ground.
