solving method. Due: Monday, October 4th. 1. A sprinter starts from rest and accelerates uniformly throughout a 100. m dash. If the sprinters time is 9.79 s, then (a) W hat was his acceleration? (2.09 m/s 2 ) (b) W hat was his final velocity? (20.4 m/s) 2. Below is a position vs. time graph for a motorcycle which starts from rest at d = 0. Indicate at which time(s) the bike a) was undergoing accelerated motion; b) was undergoing uniform motion; c) achieved its maximum velocity. d) Determine the bikes maximum velocity. (15. m/s [E]) e) Determine the bikes average acceleration between 0-3.0s (use d = 0.5a (t)2 , and solve for a). (4.4 m/s 2 [E]). f) Determine the bikes average velocity between 0 and 5.0 s. (10. m/s[E])

3. Match each position-time graph above with its description. i) uniform motion away from the reference point. ii) constant acceleration from positive velocity. iii) constant acceleration toward the reference point. iv) uniform motion toward the reference point. v) constant acceleration from zero velocity. 4. Copy and complete the following table: Term position velocity displacement acceleration Symbol Unit Definition

5. Define the following words, in your own words. a) Compare b) Contrast 6. Compare and contrast (dont merely define) the following terms: a) speed and velocity b) distance and displacement c) vector and scalar 7. A mountain climber falls off one of the highest ramparts of Mt. Everest. If he splats on the rocks below in 27.355s, then a) to the nearest metre, how far did he drop? Assume no air resistance. (3667 m) b) how fast was he going when he met his doom? (268.1 m/s) c) how deep an impact crater did he make? (just joking!) 8. The road runner, being chased by the coyote, accelerates from 4.5 m/s to 6.5 m/s over a distance 125 m. a) W hat was the road runners acceleration? (8.8 10 -2 m/s 2 ) b) How long did this take? (22.7 s) 9. An object, travelling north at 12 m/s, experiences a southward acceleration of 4.0 m/s 2 . a) W hat are the two possible velocities it could have when it is 4.0 m north of its initial position? (v = 10.6 m/s [N]) b) At what times will this position occur? (0.35s, 5.65s) c) sketch a position vs. time graph for the object (a kitten projected up the slope of a metal roof, if you must know). 10. A ball is thrown straight upwards from ground level. If the ball is in the air for 4.8 s total, then what was the balls initial velocity? (23.5 m/s [up]) 11. A ball is thrown straight down from the roof of an 82.0 m high building at an initial speed of 39 km/h. How long does it take the ball to reach the ground? (3.13 s) 12. A car accelerates from 35 km/h [W ] at a rate of 1.5 m/s 2 [W ]. How long will it take the car to travel 1.0 km? (30.6 s) 13. How long will it take a cannonball to hit the ground after falling from a 1000 m cliff? (14.3s) 14. Some position-time data for a hamster is given below. Use it to determine the hamsters initial position, initial velocity and acceleration. Hint 1: You can get a by the methods used in your lab (the table is provided). Hint 2: You can get all of the quantities by direct substitution of d and t values into the equation d2 = 0.5a(t)2 + v1 t + d1 (Answers: a = 12 m/s 2 [W ]), v1 = 3.0 m/s [W ], d 1 = 5.0 m [W ])
