Activity Problem in Speed, Velocity and Acceleration

1. Pete drove 150 meters in 18 seconds. His speed was 150/18 = 8.33 meters per second. 2. The jogger's average speed was (4.0 km in 32 min) + (2.0 km in 22 min) + (1.0 km in 16 min) / (32 + 22 + 16) min = 3 km / 70 min = 0.043 km/min. 3. The train traveled 120 km in 2 hours and 30 minutes. Its average speed was 120 km / (2.5 hours * 60 min/hour) = 120 km / 150 min = 0.8 km/min.

Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration Problems


Answer the following problems with the correct units. Show your complete solution.

1. Pete is driving down 7th street. He drives 150 meters in 18 seconds. Assuming he does not speed up or slow
down, what is his speed in meters per second?

2. A person jogs 4.0 km in 32 minutes, then 2.0 km in 22 minutes, and finally 1.0 km in 16 minutes. What is the
jogger’s average speed in km per minute?

3. A train travels 120 km in 2 hours and 30 minutes. What is its average speed?

4. A plane’s average speed between two cities is 600 km/h. If the trip takes 2.5 h, how far does the plane fly?

5. George walks to a friend’s house. He walks 750 meters North, then realizes he walked too far. He turns
around and walks 250 meters South. The entire walk takes him 13 seconds. What is his velocity in meters per
second?

6. A roller coaster’s velocity at the top of a hill is 10 m/s. Two seconds later it reaches the bottom of the hill
with a velocity of 26 m/s. What was the acceleration of the coaster?

7. A roller coaster is moving at 25 m/s at the bottom of a hill. Three seconds later it reaches the top of the hill
moving at 10 m/s. What was the acceleration of the coaster?

8. A train moves from rest to a speed of 25 m/s in 30.0 seconds. What is its acceleration?

9. How long will it take a car to go from a complete stop to 44 km/h if they are accelerating at 5 km/h2?
