Worksheet #3 Uniform Acceleration Calculations PDF

This document contains 8 practice problems involving calculations of uniform acceleration, including determining acceleration, velocity, distance, and time given values for some combination of acceleration, initial velocity, final velocity, distance, and time. The problems cover scenarios like a truck decelerating, a car accelerating, a stroller accelerating from rest, a cyclist decelerating, and a coin rolling down a ramp.

Worksheet #3: Uniform Acceleration Calculations

1. What is the deceleration of a truck that takes 8.5 seconds to decrease its velocity
from 35 m/s to 5 m/s?

2. A car moves at a velocity of 8.5 meters per second. It then accelerates at a


constant rate of 2.5 m/s2 for a total time of 5 seconds. How fast is the car moving at
the end of the 5 seconds?

3. A baby sitter pushing a stroller starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 0.5
m/s2. What is the velocity of the stroller after it has traveled for 4.75 minutes?

4. It takes a car 6.5 seconds to accelerate from rest to a final velocity of 24 m/s.
What is the acceleration of the car?
5. A cyclist rides at a velocity of 12 m/s. If the cyclist decelerates at a rate of
1.5 m/s2, how long will it take her to reach a velocity of 3 m/s?

6. A coin, starting from rest, rolls down a ramp with an acceleration of 2 m/s2. How
far from its starting position will the coin roll in 3.5 seconds?

7. An engineer is designing the runway for an airport. Of the planes that will use the
airport, the lowest acceleration rate is likely to be 3 m/s2. If the plane starts form rest
and the pilot has 10 seconds to takeoff, what is the minimum allowed length for the
runway?

8. A race car accelerates uniformly from 18.5 m/s to 46.1 m/s in 2.47 seconds.
Determine the acceleration of the car and the distance traveled.
