Problem Solving: Place your answer in a separate sheet of paper with complete work show:
1. A sprinter runs at various speeds along a straight road running northeast.
How far does the sprinter go in 10 seconds?
(4+(-2))/2 = 1 m/s
1 m/s * 10 s = 10 m
2. Ronnie decides to take a trip. The 100 km trip is traveled in two equal length segments.
The first segment takes 20 minutes and the second segment takes 40 minutes.
Compute: ( use units of Km/hr then convert to m/s)
a) _2.5 _ km/hr or ___.69__m/s The average speed on the first leg
b) __1.25___km/hr or ___.35____m/s The average speed on the second leg

c) ___1.9____km/hr or ___.53____m/s The average speed for the entire trip
3. A turtle takes 3.5 minutes to walk 18 m toward the south along a deserted highway. A
truck driver stops and picks up the turtle. The driver takes the turtle to a town 1.1 km to
the north with an average speed of 12 m/s. What is the magnitude of the average velocity
of the turtle for its entire journey?
V1 = 18 m/ 3.5 = 5.1 m/s V2= 1082 m/ 91.67 s = 11.80 m/s
Avg. Velocity = 16.9 m/s
4. Town A lies 20 km north of town B. Town C lies 13 km west of town A. A small plane
flies directly from town B to town C. What is the displacement of the plane?
20^2 + 13^2 = 569 square root of 569 = 23.9 km N of W
5. A jogger runs at a constant rate of 10.0 m every 2.0 seconds. The jogger starts at the
origin and runs in the positive direction for 3600.0 seconds. Hint: Draw a position- time
graph.
a. Where is the runner at time t= 5.0 s? 5.0 m for 1.0 sec 10.0 +10.0 + 5.0 = 25 m
b. Where is the runner at time t= 15.0 s? 10.0 + 10.0 + 10.0 + 10.0 + 10.0 + 10.0+
10.0 + 5.0 = 75 m
6. Carl Lewis set a world record for the 100.0-m run with a time of 9.86 s. If, after reaching
the finish line, Mr. Lewis walked directly back to his starting point in 90.9 s, what is the
magnitude of his average velocity for the 200.0 m?
100.0/9.86 = 10.1 m/s 100.0/90.9 = 1.10 m/s 10.1 m/s + 1.10 m/s / 2 = 5.62 m/s
7. A Canadian goose flew 845 km from Southern California to Oregon with an average
speed of 28.0 m/s. How long, in hours, did it take the goose to make this journey?
845000 m / 28.0 s = 30178.6 s / 60 sec/ 60 mins = 8.38 hours

a. 0 meters b. 157 meters c. 314 meters d. 100π meters

12. In the region d to e, the speed is:

Use the graph below for questions 14 and 15

14. Which object was slowing down?

a) _2.5 _ km/hr or _.69m/s The average speed on the first leg

b) 1.25_km/hr or _.35__m/s The average speed on the second leg

V1 = 18 m/ 3.5 = 5.1 m/s V2= 1082 m/ 91.67 s = 11.80 m/s

Avg. Velocity = 16.9 m/s

20^2 + 13^2 = 569 square root of 569 = 23.9 km N of W

845000 m / 28.0 s = 30178.6 s / 60 sec/ 60 mins = 8.38 hours
