Chapter 3: Acceleration and Accelerated Motion


3.1 Acceleration

Name: ________________________________ Class: ______________________ date: _____________

Question 1: choose the correct answer for each of the following sentences.

_____ 1. If you know a car’s acceleration, the information you must have to determine if the
car’s velocity is increasing is the:
a. direction of the car’s initial velocity.
b. direction of the car’s acceleration.
c. initial speed of the car.
d. final velocity of the car.
______ 2. The average acceleration is the ratio of which of the following quantities?
a. d:v
b. d:t
c. v:v
d. v:t
_____ 3. The speed of a car will increase if the car’s
a. initial velocity is positive and its acceleration is zero.
b. initial velocity is positive and its acceleration is positive.
c. initial velocity is positive and its acceleration is negative.
d. initial velocity is negative and its acceleration is positive.

Question 2: A dragster in a race accelerated from rest to 60 m/s by the time it reached the finish
line. The dragster moved the distance from start to finish in 8.3 seconds. What is the dragsters
acceleration?

60−0
= = 7.2 m/s2 in a positive direction
8.3

Question 3: A bus traveling 7.8 m/s west, has a constant increase in speed 1.5 m/𝑠 2 .What is its
velocity 5.2 s later?

Givens: a= - 1.5 m/s2 vi = -7.8 m/s t= 5.2 s

Vf = a t + vi = (-1.5)(5.2) + (-7.8)= -15.6 m/s

Question 4: refer to the given diagram below to answer the following questions.

a. In the time interval [4,5] is the object speeding up


or slowing down? Explain.

In this time interval velocity is positive while

acceleration is negative (negative slope) which

means the object is slowing down.

b. Calculate the acceleration during the time interval [2,4].

1−(−1) 2
a= slope = = = 0.5 m/s2
4−2 4

c. Calculate the total displacement this object travelled between t=3s to t=5s.

1
Displacement = area = (2)(1)= 1 m2
