3. Physics C 1-D Motion
Sample problem: Guido, driving his spiffy ‘87 Dodge Colt, accelerates from 12 m/s to 25 m/s at a rate of 0.75 m/s2. Determine how long it takes him to do so.

4. Physics C 1-D Motion
Sample problem: Mavis, the world famous airplane pilot, is ready to take off. To reach her take off speed of 45 m/s, it will take her 15 s starting from rest. How long does the runway have to be so that she has enough room to take off?

5. Physics C 1-D Motion
Sample problem: Zippy, tooling along in his ‘73 Volvo station wagon at 12 km/hr, notices a small furry rodent running along the road. Zippy accelerates at 5.4 m/s2 for 18 s in an attempt to catch up with the little guy. How far has Zippy traveled while he speeds up?

Sample problem: Disco Stu, riding his rocket sled, slows down from 55 m/s to a stop. Skid marks left by the sled’s tires indicate that his sled traveled 110 m while it was slowing down. What was the sled’s acceleration?
