Stephanie is traveling West moving at 26 m/s on her bicycle. If it takes her 6 seconds to slow down to a stop, how far did Stephanie travel from the time she began to slow down until her bike stopped.

• 311.88 m

• 169 m

• 332.4 m

• 233.94 m

An airplane accelerates down a runway at 3.20 m/s/s
for 8 s until it finally lifts off the ground.
Determine the velocity at take-off.

What is the average velocity of the object between 0 and 10 seconds?

• 6.0 m/s

• 1.5 m/s

• -4 m/s

• 0 m/s

What is the rate of acceleration of the object between 0 and 4 seconds?

*A boat travels 12.0 m while it reduces its velocity from 9.5 m/s to 5.5 m/s. What is the magnitude of the boat’s acceleration while it travels the 12.0 m?

• 1.3 m/s²

• 2.5 m/s²

• 3.0 m/s²

A car is traveling to the right with a speed of 29 ​​m/s when the rider slams on the accelerator to pass another car. The car passes in 110 m with constant acceleration and reaches a speed of 34 m/s. We want to find the acceleration of the car as it sped up. What equation should you choose?

• v_f=v_i+at

• Δx=v_it+1/2at²

• v_f²=v_i²+2aΔx

• Δx=1/2(v_f+v_i)t

• 10.5s

• 12.0s

• 15.5s

*A dog basks in the sun when he sees a squirrel and bolts after it. If the dog accelerates at +1.6 m/s/s, how far does he run in 3 seconds?

• 4.8 meters

• 45 meters

• 1.6 meters

• 7.2 meters
