Acceleration Worksheet12

1. The document provides examples of calculating acceleration from initial and final velocity and time. It works through problems involving vehicles like cars and dragsters decelerating and accelerating. It also includes examples of objects like balls rolling down hills and calculating their acceleration. All the examples use the kinematic equations to solve for acceleration.

1. While traveling along a highway a driver slows from 24 m/s to 15 m/s in 12 seconds.

What
is the automobile’s acceleration?
u = 24 m/s
v = 15 m/s
t = 12 s
a?
a = (v - u)/t
a = (15 - 24)/12
a = -9/12
a = -0.75 m/s2(Deceleration!)

2. A parachute on a racing dragster opens and changes the speed of the car from 85 m/s to 45
m/s in a period of 4 seconds. What is the acceleration of the dragster?
u = 85 m/s
v = 45 m/s
t=4s
a?
a = (v - u)/t
a = (85 - 45)/4
a = -40/4
a = -10 m/s2
3. The table below includes data for a ball rolling down a hill. Fill in the missing data values in
the table and determine the acceleration of the rolling ball.

4. A car traveling at a speed of 30.0 m/s encounters an emergency and comes to a complete
stop. How much time will it take for the car to stop if it decelerates at -4.0 m/s2?
u = 30 m/s
v = 0 m/s
a = -4m/s2
t?
t = (v - u)/a
t = (0 - 30)/-4
t = -30/-4
t = 7.5 s
5. If a car can go from 0 to 36 km/hr in 8.0 seconds, what would be its final speed after 5.0
seconds if its starting speed were 72 km/hr?
u1 = 0 km/h
v1 = 36 km/h
v1 = 10 m/s
t1 = 8 s
u2 = 72 km/h
u2 = 20 m/s
t1 = 5s
v2?
a = (v1 – u1)/t
a = (10 - 0)/8
a = 10/8
a = 1.25 m/s2
v2=u2+(axt)
v2=20+(1.25x5)
v2=26.25m/s

6. A cart rolling down an incline for 5.0 seconds has an acceleration of 4.0 m/s2. If the cart has a
beginning speed of 2.0 m/s, what is its final speed?

7. A helicopter’s speed increases from 25 m/s to 60 m/s in 5 seconds. What is the acceleration
of this helicopter?

8. As she climbs a hill, a cyclist slows down from 36 km/hr to 18 km/hr in 10 seconds. What is
her deceleration?

9. A motorcycle traveling at 25 m/s accelerates at a rate of 7.0 m/s2 for 6.0 seconds. What is the
final speed of the motorcycle?
10. A car starting from rest accelerates at a rate of 8.0 m/s/s. What is its final speed at the end of
4.0 seconds?

11. After traveling for 6.0 seconds, a runner reaches a speed of 10 m/s. What is the runner’s
acceleration?

12. A cyclist accelerates at a rate of 7.0 m/s2. How long will it take the cyclist to reach a speed of
18 m/s?

13. A skateboarder traveling at 7.0 meters per second rolls to a stop at the top of a ramp in 3.0
seconds. What is the skateboarder’s acceleration?
