1. On a clear Monday morning, two students take a three-hour automobile trip to enjoy the post-
Christmas break. In the first two hours, they travel at a constant speed of 90km/H. Then they
accelerate to 120 km/H on the last hour. Find the Total distance travelled by the trip.

2. Two children cross a starting line at the same time, one running with a velocity of + 3.5 m/s and
the other with a velocity of – 4.0 m/s. How far apart are they after 12 sec?

3. A bicycle starts from rest and increases his velocity at a constant rate until he reaches a speed of
4.2 m/s in 5 seconds. What is his average acceleration?

4. A motorcyclist begins from rest and accelerates in one direction with a constant acceleration of
4.0 m/s2 for 12 seconds.
A) What is the rider’s velocity at the end of 12 seconds?
B) How far is the motorcyclist reached after 12 seconds?

5. You are driving a new Ford trailblazer at a velocity of 90 km/H, when you suddenly see a dog step
on the road 50 meters ahead. You press the breaks hard to get a maximum deceleration of 7.5 m/s 2.
How far will you go before stopping? Did you hit the dog? Justify.

6. A run away motorcycle traveling with a constant acceleration of 2. 00 m/s2 crosses a 100-m long
bridge in 4.23 seconds. Find the following: A) What was the velocity of the motorcycle at the
beginning of the bridge? B) What was the velocity at the end of the bridge?
