Assignment 2

This physics assignment document contains 15 questions related to mechanics, motion, and uniformly accelerated motion. The questions cover topics such as: 1) Defining equations for velocity, distance, and uniformly accelerated motion. 2) Calculating initial velocity, acceleration, average velocity, and distance traveled for objects undergoing constant acceleration from various starting points. 3) Determining acceleration and retardation values from information about changes in speed over time. The questions require applying equations of motion to real-world examples like cars, trains, buses, motorcycles, and scooters accelerating, moving with uniform speed, or decelerating under braking.
