Section 2: The constant acceleration formulae


Exercise
1.

(i) Find v when u = 5, a = 3, t = 2.


(ii) Find v when u = 4, a = -2, t = 3.
(iii) Find s when v = 10, u = 4, a = 6.
(iv) Find s when u = 15, a = -5, t = 3.

2.

(i) Find a when u = 6, s = 4, v = 1.


(ii) Find a when s = 12, u = 3, t = 4.
(iii) Find u when v = 0, a = 4, s = -12.
(iv) Find u when s = 10, t = 2, a = -4.

3.

(i) If u = 5, a = 2 and t = 3 find v and s.


(ii) If v = -18, s = -64 and t = 8 find a and u.

4.

A car accelerates from rest uniformly to 17 ms-1 in 30 seconds. Find the distance
travelled in this time.

5.

A cyclist travels 1.3 km as he accelerates at a rate of k ms-2 from 15 kmh-1 to


30 kmh-1. Find a value for k.

6.

A cheetah has the ability to accelerate from rest to 108 kmh-1 in 25 metres. Find
the acceleration. What assumption have you made?

7.

A train starts from rest and after 20 seconds is travelling at 30 ms -1. It travels at
this speed for 1 minute. Find the acceleration in the first 20 s and the total
distance travelled. What assumptions are inherent in the question?

8.

A driver is keeping to a steady 70 kmh-1 when he sees that 60 m ahead the road is
blocked because of an accident. He immediately applies his brakes to produce a
retardation of 5 ms-2. Does he come to rest before the accident and if so by how
much?

9.

The Highway Code states that a car travelling at 20 ms-1 requires a minimum
braking distance of 30 m. What retardation is this and how long will it take for
the car to come to rest?

10. A particle moves in a straight line increasing its velocity from 2 ms -1 to 16 ms-1 in
10 seconds. Find the acceleration of the particle in this time and the distance that
it travels.
11. A girl standing on a bridge throws a stone vertically upwards at 6 ms-1. It hits the
water below the bridge after 2 seconds. Find the speed at which the stone hits the
water and the initial height of the stone above the water.

12. A particle moving in a straight line with a constant acceleration covers 10 m in 2
seconds and 22 m in a further 2 seconds. How much further does it travel in the
next two seconds?
13. A ball is thrown vertically upwards at 25 ms-1. Find the length of time for which
the ball is above 3 m from the point of projection.
14. A stone is dropped from the top of a cliff and a second later a second stone is
thrown vertically downwards at 15 ms-1. Both stones reach the beach at the same
time. How high is the cliff?
