Physics/Motion Questions
DISTANCE, TIME and SPEED PRACTICE PROBLEMS:
1. If the distance from Grand Rapids to Kalamazoo is 56 miles, and it takes 45 minutes to get to Kalamazoo, what would your speed be? Per minute? Per Hour? 2. You’re being chased by zombies you are moving at 3 meters per second. If you can run at that pace for only 60 seconds, what is the farthest distance you can go? 3. Lil Wayne is running from a pitbull. If the pit can run at 4 m/s, and they’re 20 meters from the fence, how long does Weezy have to get over the fence and not get eaten? 4. Luis Cabrera throws a ball at 15 m/s. How long does it take the ball to travel 300 meters? 5. Lady Gaga is driving from the paparazzi. Her house is 1,000 meters away, it takes her 20 seconds to get there. What is her average speed? 6. Lebron James steals the ball and makes a break for the basket. He runs 32 meters in 4 seconds. What is his speed? 7. A roller coaster flies along at 80 m/s. How long does it take to travel 16000 meters of track? 8. Stewie needs to go get Brian out of the pound 1 Kilometer away. How long will it take Stewie if he crawls 0.5 km/h? 9. Joey grabs a zip line and swings away at 1 km/h. How many meters does he travel in an hour? 10. Master Chief has 18 kilometers to travel in two hours. He can only move 3 km/h. How long will it take him to travel that distance? *Did he make it in two hours? |
DISPLACEMENT, VELOCITY AND ACCELERATION PRACTICE PROBLEMS:
Displacement: A bee flies 25 m North of the hive, then 10 m East, 5 m West and 10 m South. How far from the hive is it now ( and in which direction)? Explain how you calculated your answer. Velocity: Calculate the velocity of a skater who moves 5m toward the left on the ice over the course of 10 sec. (remember to include units and direction)! Acceleration: A runner starts a race at 0 m/s. When she is finished the race after 10 seconds, her speed is 4m/s. What was her acceleration during the race? Use: a= (Vf-Vi)/t GRAPH b) below shows: a) zero velocity b) constat displacement c) constant speed d) constant velocity Which of the graphs below shows: a)constant velocity b) zero velocity c) decreasing velocity |
