6. Average velocity of the particle ____________.

7. Particle comes to rest after t = ________s.
8. Max. velocity in ve direction at ________seconds.
9. V t graph of the particle ___________.
10. At t = 0, a particle moving along an x axis is at position x 0 =
-20m. The signs of the particles initial velocity v0(at time t0) and
constant acceleration a are, respectively, for four situations: (1) + ,
+;(2) +, -;(3) -, +(4) - , - . In which situations will the particle a) stop
momentarily, b) pass through the origin, and c) never pass through
the origin?
11. Hanging over the railing of a bridge, you drop an egg(no initial
velocity) as you throw a second egg downward. Which curves in
below figure give the velocity v(t) for a) the dropped egg and b) the
thrown egg?(Curves A and B are parallel; so are C, D, and E; so are
F and G.)

12. The following equations give the velocity v(t) of a

particle in four situations: a) v = 3; b) v = 4t 2+2t-6; c) v = 3t 4; d)

axis depends on the time a/c to the equation: x = ct 2- bt3. What are the
units of

14. A red car & green car identical except for the color,

move toward each other in adjacent lanes and parallel to an x axis.

At time t = 0s, xr = 0 &xg = 220m if the red car has a constant velocity
of 20kmh-1, the cars pass each other x = 44.5m and if it has a constant
velocity of 40km h-1 they pass each other at x = 76.6m what are a)
initial velocity.
2)
3)

B. constant acceleration of the green car.

15. Below figure shows a general situation in which a

stream of people attempt to escape through an exit door that turns out
to be locked. The people move towards the door at speed vs = 3.50
m/s, are each d = 0.25 m in depth, and are separated by = L = 1.75 m.
The arrangement in below figure occurs at time t = 0.
a. At what average rate does the layer of people at the door
increase?
b. At what time does the layers depth reach 5.0m? (The answers
reveal how quickly such a situation becomes dangerous)
