2. At the bottom of a hill, a toboggan moving 12 m/s forward accelerates at ‒0.50 m/s2 for
10 seconds. What is the toboggan’s velocity at the end of the 10 seconds?

3. How much time does it take a car travelling south at 12 m/s to increase its velocity to 26 m/s
south if it accelerates at 3.5 m/s2 south?

4. A stone is dropped from a cliff. What is its velocity after 1 second? after 2 seconds?

slow down to an upward velocity of 6.0 m/s?

6. A rock is thrown downwards with an initial velocity of 8.0 m/s. What is the velocity of
the rock after 1.5 seconds?

slowing down. Acceleration is always in the same direction of _______________ if the
object is speeding up.
