Kinematics  Review

1. What kind of oil drop pattern would a car make if it were moving from left to right with the following motions? 
constant acceleration?             constant velocity                 constant deceleration?   

. .   .    .       .         .              .

2.  A car moves 5 m N and 10 m East. What is the displacement of the car?
Draw the picture of this movement. Show ALL work!!! - Answer in Decimal form

 

 

3. Part I) Draw a displacement vs. time plot for each of the following motions: 

a) Constant + velocity       b) rest   c) constant + speed   d) constant non-zero acceleration

Part II) Now show how these motions would look if they were plotted on a V vs t plot.

a) Constant velocity     b) rest    c) constant speed        d) constant non-zero acceleration

4.  Plot this data on the grid on the right.

time (second) Velocity (m/s)
0 0
1 2
2 4
3 6
4 6

               

 

Find the distance traveled from t = 0 to t = 3 sec Use equation from reference table

5. A car moving at a speed of 8.0 m/s enters a highway and accelerates at 3.0 m/s2. How fast will the car be moving after it has accelerated for 56 m? Use equation from reference table
