How long will it take a running horse to travel 260 m and attain a speed of 12 m/s from rest?

• 1200 seconds
• 1.2 hours
• 43 Hours
• 43 minutes

A car is traveling at 21.0 m/s. It slows to a stop at a constant rate over 5.00 s. How far does the car travel during those 5.00 seconds before it stops? 

• 4.20 m
• 52.5 m
• 105 m
• 158 m

The SI unit for length or distance is

• foot (ft)
• inch (in)
• mile (mi)
• meter (m)

In each of the following cases, determine which car has the greatest acceleration.

• starts from 0 m/s to 20 m/s in 4 seconds.
• speed up from 20m/s to 40m/s in 3 seconds
• slow down from 50m/s to stop in 2 seconds
• starts from 0 m/s to 20m/s in 5 seconds
