Rocket-powered sleds are used to test the human response to acceleration. If a rocket powered sled is accelerated to a speed of 444 m/s in 1.83 seconds, then what is the acceleration and what is the distance that the sled travels? A bike accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 7.10 m/s over a distance of 35.4 m. Determine the acceleration of the bike.

A woman backs her van out of her parking space with a constant acceleration of 1.8 m/s2. Assume that her initial motion is in the positive direction. Part A: How long does it take her to reach a speed of 2.1 m/s in seconds? Part B: If she then brakes to a stop in 0.65 s, what is her acceleration in meters per square second?
Basam is standing on the edge of a cliff and tosses her physics book upward with a speed of 22.0 m/s. It hits the ground at the base of the cliff 6.0 s later. Create a VELOCITY-TIME graph that represents this scenario. You may assume that the acceleration of the textbook is -9.81 m/s². Use the graph to determine a) the height of the cliff. b) the speed of the book when it impacts the ground. DO NOT use kinematics formulas to solve this problem. This task is assessing your understanding of GRAPHING to represent accelerate motion.
A whale swims due east for a distance of 8.0 km in a time of 2.50 h. It then turns around and moves west for 2.0 km in a time of 0.50 h. It turns around again and heads 4.0 km due east in a time of 1.00 h. What is the total distance travelled by the whale. What is the total displacement? What is the average speed for the entire trip? What is the average velocity for the entire trip? There are five quantities discussed in this question: distance, displacement, time, speed, and velocity. Which of these are scalars and which are vectors?
A ball is attached to a paddle by a rubber band. The ball is initially moving away from the paddle with a speed of 8.0 m/s. After 0.4 seconds it is moving towards the paddle with a velocity of 7.0 m/s. What is the average acceleration in m/s2 during this time?
The top speed of a Utahraptor is about 9 m/s. How long would it take a Utahraptor to run 1000 m if it accelerates from rest to 9 m/s? Assume acceleration is constant and it reaches its top speed at exactly 1000 m from its starting point. Hint: Look at the kinematic equations
A runner hopes to complete the 9.9 km run in less than 30.2 min. After running at constant speed for exactly 27.1 min, there are still 1.2 km to go. The runner must then accelerate at 0.21 m/s2 for how many seconds in order to achieve the desired time? Your answer must include two digits after the decimal point and maximum of 5% of error is accepted in your answer.
