1. VELOCITY PROBLEMS
v = d/t

2. Find the velocity in meters per second of a swimmer who swims 110m toward the shore in 72s.
v = __________ d = __________ t = __________

3. How much time does it take for a student running at an average speed of 5.00 m/s to cover a distance of 2.00 km?
v = __________ d = __________ t = __________

4. Metal stakes are sometimes placed in a glacier to help measure the glacier’s movement. For several days in 1936, Alaska’s Black Rapids glacier surged swiftly as 89m per day down the valley. Find the glacier’s velocity in m/s. Remember to include direction. (1 day = 86,400 s)
v = __________ d = __________ t = __________

5. Acceleration
a = vf – vi/t

6. What is the acceleration of a car that goes from rest to 25 m/s in 5
What is the acceleration of a car that goes from rest to 25 m/s in 5.0 s?
a = _____ vf = ______ vi = ______ t =________

7. A runner whose initial speed is 29 km/hour increases her speed to 31 km/hour in order to win a race. If the runner takes 5.0 seconds to complete this increase in her speed, what is her acceleration?
a = _____ vf = ______ vi = ______ t =________

8. A fighter jet landing on an aircraft carrier’s flight deck that has a length of meters must reduce its speed from about 42.5 m/s to exactly 0.0m/s in 2.0 seconds. What is the jet’s acceleration?
a = _____ vf = ______ vi = ______ t =________
