C. No. 3
D. No. 1 & 3

3. Starting at a flagpole, you begin walking to the East with equal strides for 200 strides. Then you reverse direction
and walk 100 strides directly back toward the flagpole. Now what is your position?
A. 100 strides
B. 100 strides East of the flagpole

Read the text below in order to answer questions # 4-5.

Susan opened her front door and headed to school. She picked up speed as she left her front door and soon reached her
usual moderate pace. About halfway to school she slowed to a stop and watched a bird building a nest. When she
realized she was late, she ran at a fast pace the rest of the way to school to avoid being marked late. She didn’t slow until
she was stopped by the safety guard in front of the school.
A. B.

D.
4. Which VELOCITY VERSUS TIME graph In Figure 4 above shows Susan’s velocity during her walk to school?
A. Graph “A”
B. Graph “B”
C. Graph “C”
D. Graph “D”

5. For the situation described in Figure 4, we can conclude that Susan ….

A. did not accelerate while walking to school.
B. accelerated only once while walking to school.
C. accelerated twice while walking to school.
D. accelerated more than twice while walking to school.

Answer the questions below.

1. Complete the table assuming all data is for straight line motion with constant acceleration:

t vi vf a Sketch
(s) (m/s) (m/s) (m/s2) v-t graph

2 0 10

4 2 1.5

25 -2
19

4 21 3

2. Convert the following unit.

a. 90 km/h = _________________________________________________ m/s

b. 180 km/h = ________________________________________________ m/s

c. 30 m/s = ___________________________________________________ km/h

d. 55 m/s = ___________________________________________________ km/s

3. Annie runs at constant speed of 2 m/s for 6 seconds. How far does she travel?
4. A ball rolls down a slope, starting from rest and reaches a velocity of 4 m/s after 2 seconds. What is its
acceleration?

5. Danny runs at a constant velocity covering a straight line distance of 120 cm in 8 seconds. What is his velocity in
m/s?

6. A car starts from rest and accelerates at 4 m/s2 for 10s. Find the final velocity and the distance traveled by the car.

7. “Speed is always positive, velocity is not” – explain this statement.

8. How is uniform linear motion different from uniformly accelerated motion?

9. A car travelled from A to B to C and D in 1.5 minutes, as show as a picture :

meter
Find the car’s:
a. Distance (meter)

b. Displacement (meter)

c. Speed (m/s)

d. Velocity (m/s)

10. Harry rode a motorbike with initial velocity 50 km/h, then after realize that he was late to his appointment increase
his velocity with acceleration of 2 m/s2 in 10 seconds. What is his final velocity?
