each point?

















Analyze the following graph and answer questions 2 and 3.


2. Roughly, how long did it take this object to travel 30 meters?
3. About how far did this object travel between 2 seconds from its start and 5
seconds from its start?

Use the steps for acceleration problems and free fall to solve the following word
problems
4. Ima Hurryin is approaching a stoplight moving with a velocity of +30.0 m/s.
The light turns yellow, and Ima applies the brakes and skids to a stop. If Ima's
acceleration is -8.00 m/s
2
, then determine the displacement of the car during
the skidding process. (Answer: 56.3m)
5. Ben Rushin is waiting at a stoplight. When it finally turns green, Ben
accelerated from rest at a rate of a 6.00 m/s
2
for a time of 4.10 seconds.
Determine the displacement of Ben's car during this time period. (Answer:
50.4m)
6. Luke Autbeloe drops a pile of roof shingles from the top of a roof located 8.52
meters above the ground. Determine the time required for the shingles to
reach the ground. (Answer: 1.32s)
7. Rex Things throws his mother's crystal vase vertically upwards with an initial
velocity of 26.2 m/s. Determine the height to which the vase will rise above its
initial height. (Answer: 35 m)
8. A car is going 40 m/s and accelerates at 6.5 m/s for 3 s. How fast is the car
going at the end of that time? (Answer: 59.5 m/s)
