Instruction. Draw the necessary figure/diagram stated in the problems before solving the requirements.
Indicate your answer. Each question is equivalent to 5 points. No proper FBD, no
solution, no points!

Problem 1. If a particle position is given by the expression x(t) = 3.4t3 – 5t meters, what is the
acceleration of the particle after t=5 seconds.

Problem 2. A train passing point A at a speed of 72 kph accelerates at 0.75m/s 2 for one minute along
a straight path then decelerates at 1.0m/s 2. How far in km from point A will it be 2 minutes
after passing point A?

Problem 3. A ball is thrown from a tower 30m high above the ground with a velocity of 300 m/s directed
at 20° from the horizontal. How long will the ball hit the ground?

Problem 4. A particle starts from rest and moves in a straight line with an acceleration of a= (2t - 6)
m/s2, where t is in seconds. What is the particle’s velocity when t = 6s, and what its position
when t =10s?

Problem 5. A particle moves along a straight line such that its position is defined by S = (t 2 - 6t + 5) m.
Determine the average velocity, the average speed, and the acceleration of the particle when
t = 6s.
