  1. A fish is swimming at a velocity of 48 m/s for 90s. What distance did it travel?
  2. An ant eater was driving down a road at a rate of 60m/s when he decided to accelerate. He accelerated at 20m/s2 for 13.56s. What was his final velocity?
  3. Teddy the turtle was crawling along the road. He began 45m away from his origin and was crawling at 1.3m/s for 120s. When he finished his journey he was 104m from where he started. What was teddy’s acceleration?
  4. Randy the rattlesnake was slithering along at 22m/s when he suddenly had to come to a stop. His acceleration was -300m/s2 and he was 290m from where he first began to stop. What was his final velocity?
  5. Zeus the zebra ran from a lion at 33m/s when he suddenly came up to the edge of a cliff and had to stop suddenly. Zeus’ hoof prints left a skid mark 55m long, what was his acceleration?
  6. The distance from Fort Worth to Houston is 260km. If this takes 4 hours to drive, what is the speed? (remember to convert to the appropriate standard physics unit(s))
  7. An object with a constant velocity of 396m/s stops 1200m from its origin in 23.2s. What was the object’s initial displacement?
  8. A car slows from 53m/s to 29m/s in 12s. What is its acceleration?
  9. A bowling ball is dropped off a high rise building approximately 722m tall. What was the object’s final velocity at impact?
  10. The same bowling ball was dropped from the same height only this time someone caught it before it hit the ground. The person who caught it was 100m above the ground. What was the bowling ball’s velocity when the person caught it?
  11. Draw a v/t graph of an object with a velocity of 4m/s with an acceleration of -2m/s2 for 5s. Then changes direction and has a positive acceleration of 1m/s2 for 5s.
  12. What information can be derived from a d/t graph? How about a v/t graph?
  13. What is terminal velocity?
  14. What factor(s) affect terminal velocity?
  15. What is a vacuum?
  16. How will a free-falling object in a vacuum differ from a free-falling object in the atmosphere?
  17. What is the universal law of gravitation?
  18. If the acceleration of gravity on the moon is -4m/s2 and an object is dropped from a height of 10m. What will its velocity be when it hits the surface of the moon?
  19. What is acceleration?
  20. What is motion?
