A cyclist travelling at a velocity of 4.2 m s^-1 accelerates at 1.1 m s^-2. In a time of 7.4 s, the displacement travelled is

• 30 m

• 35 m

• 61 m

• 91 m

A freely falling object on Earth has a speed of 5.0 m s^-1. After falling a further 20 m, its velocity is

• 15 m s^-1

• 20 m s^-1

• 25 m s^-1

• 45 m s^-1

A bus is travelling at a velocity of 9.0 m s^-1. It then accelerates at a rate of

0.75 m s^-2 for a time of 8.0 s. What therefore is its final speed?

• 6.0 m s^-1

• 15 m s^-1

• 17 m s^-1

• 21 m s^-1

The acceleration of free fall on a certain planet is 8.0 m s^-2. An object gets dropped from a height and hits the ground after 1.5 s. From what height must the object have been dropped?

• 6.0 m

• 9.0 m

• 11 m

• 12 m

A girl dropped a stone into an empty well. She heard the sound of the stone hitting the bottom of the well after 4 seconds.

The depth of the well is about

• 20 m

• 40 m

• 80 m

• 160 m

The acceleration due to gravity on Mars is 3.7 m s^-2.

If an object on Mars is launched vertically upwards with an initial speed of 40 m s^-1, its speed after 3.0 s will be

• 11 m s^-1

• 29 m s^-1

• 36 m s^-1

• 51 m s^-1
