Motion Calculations

1. A car travels 300m distance in 1 minute. Calculate its speed.

2. A lorry is travelling at a speed of 2kmh-1.

(a) Write the above speed in m/s.

(b) How long will it take to travel 500 m distance.

3. A car travels 200 m is 40 s and then 100 m is 20 s. Calculate its average speed.

4. What is meant by the acceleration of

(a) +2 m/s2
(b) -2 m/s2
5. A man runs 100m in 60 s. he then rests for another 60 s and run again a 50 m distance in 40 s.
Calculate his average speed.

6. A car is travelling at 10 m/s. Its speed increases to 20 m/s in 2 s. Calculate the acceleration.

7. A motor bike starts from rest and travelling with an acceleration of 2.5 m/s2. What will be the
speed in 5 s?

8. A car is travelling at 30 m/s. the driver presses the breaks so it comes to a stop in 3 s. Calculate
its deceleration.

9. A bus is moving with a retardation of 2 m/s2. It comes to a stop in 5 s. What was its speed 5 s
before it stops?
