b. Mass d. time
 II. Complete the table below. Solve for the missing variable. Show your solutions.

v (m/s) t (s) d (m)

100 m/s 40 s 1. 4000 m
2. 2.8 m/s 50 s 140 m
75 m/s 3. 10.7 s 800 m
65 m/s 4. 2.3 s 150 m
23.6 m/s 35.2 s 5. 830.7 m

III. Solve the following problems. Show your solution.

1. Kyle finished the 300 m dash in 60 s. What was his speed?

S=d
T
= 300 m
60 s
= 5 m/s

2. A car maintains a constant speed of 10 m/s. What distance does it cover after 2 minutes?

3. Eleve arrived at the science laboratory 35 s after leaving his classroom that is 60 m
away. How fast did he travel?

S= d
T
= 60 m
35 s
= 1.7 m/s

4. A body at rest moves a constant velocity of 25 m/s. Find its acceleration after 5 s.

a= V-V0

=25.00000-0.00000

5.00000

a= 5.00000 m/s2
5. An object at rest, accelerates as a rate of 5.0 m/s for 8 s. Find the velocity of the object.
