write the data, formula, substitution and results for each problem. Cut out each problem and
paste them in your notebook.

1. A car speeds up as it goes up a hill. As it starts down the slope, its speed was 37 m/s,
but after 15 seconds, its speed was 26 m/s. What was its acceleration?

2. Kids were playing with an empty barrel, throwing them down a inclined street. At the
top of the hill the speed of the barrel was 50 m/s. After 6 seconds, the speed of the
barrel reached 75 m/s. What was its acceleration?

3. The olympic record in men 100-meter sprint belong to Usain Bolt with a speed of
10.43 m/s. What is his acceleration considering he starts from rest?

4. A car traveling at 15 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in


10 seconds. What is its acceleration?

5. While traveling along a highway, a driver slows from 24 m/s to 15 m/s in 12 seconds.
What is the car’s acceleration?

6. A meteorite is falling to the earth. When it is still outside the atmosphere its speed is
720 km/hr, but as it goes through it, it slows down to 260 km/hr. If it takes it 12
seconds to cross the atmosphere, what was its acceleration?

7. A turtle was signed on a race. Its initial speed was 4 m/s, and after 50 seconds, its
final speed was 4.1 m/s. What was its acceleration?

8. Timothy is competing in a marathon. At the beginning of the third mile, its speed was
12 m/s. After 600 seconds he got to the last mile with an acceleration of -1.2 m/s2.
What was his final speed?

9. A Ferrari has a final speed of 15 m/s, and it accelerates at a rate of 50 m/s2 for 3
seconds. What would his initial speed be?

10. How much time will it take a car to accelerate from 2 m/s to 23.5 m/s if the car has an
acceleration of 7.83 m/s2?
