A runner has an average velocity of 4 m/s and travels for 12 seconds along the track. What is the distance traveled by the runner during this time?

• 48 m

• 12 m

• 3 m

• 24 m

A golf ball accelerates off a tee at 15m/s², changing its velocity from 0m/s to 50 m/s down the fairway. How long did it take the golf ball to accelerate?

• 750 seconds

• 35 seconds

• 0.3 seconds

• 3.3 seconds

A boat slows from 40 m/s to 10 m/s over a 15 m distance. What is the acceleration of the boat? (Assume the velocity is in the positive direction).

• 6 m/s²

• - 6 m/s²

• - 8 m/s²

• -2 m/s²

A ball is thrown upwards and caught when it comes back down at the same height. In the absence of air resistance, the speed of the ball when caught would be

• less than the speed it had when thrown upwards.

• more than the speed it had when thrown upwards.

• the same as the speed it had when thrown upwards.

• need more information to determine.

In a lab experiment, a ball is rolled down a ramp so that it leaves the edge of the table with a horizontal velocity v. If the table has a height h above the ground, how far away from the edge of the table, a distance x, does the ball land? You may neglect air resistance in this problem.

An orange billiard ball is traveling across the surface of a pool table with an initial velocity of v1 as shown, when it is struck by another ball. After the collision, the orange ball is traveling with a speed of v2 that is greater in speed than v1, and in the direction shown. Which vector below best indicates the direction of the net force on the orange ball during this collision?
