Answer the following problem on a whole sheet of paper providing the clear given solution and final answer for each problem. Send the photo of your output to Ms. Durango after. You are expected to accomplish this by September 4, 2023, Monday.
1. What is the speed of a rocket that travels 9000 meters in 12.12 seconds?
2. What is the speed of a jet plane that travels 528 meters in 4 seconds?
3. How long will your trip take (in hours) if you travel 350 km at an average speed of 80 km/hr.?
4. How far (in meters) will you travel in 3 minutes running at a rate of 6 m/s?
5. A trip to Cape Canaveral, Florida takes 10 hours. The distance is 816 km. Calculate the average speed.
6. How many seconds will it take for a satellite to travel 450 km at a rate of 120 m/s?
7. What is the speed of a walking person in m/s if the person travels 1000 m in 20 minutes?
8. A ball rolls down a ramp for 15 seconds. If the ball's initial velocity was 0.8 m/sec and the final velocity was 7 m/sec, what was the ball's acceleration?
9. A meteoroid changed velocity from 1.0 km/s to 1.8 km/s in 0.03 seconds. What is the acceleration of the meteoroid?
10. A car going 50mph accelerates to pass a truck. Five seconds later the car is going 80mph. Calculate the acceleration of the car.
11. The space shuttle releases a space telescope into orbit around the Earth. The telescope goes from being stationary to traveling at a speed of 1700 m/s in 25 seconds. What is the acceleration of the satellite?
12. A ball is rolled at a velocity of 12 m/sec. After 36 seconds, it comes to a stop. What is the acceleration of the ball?
