3) How long does it take light traveling from the sun at 3.0 x 108 m/s to reach Jupiter, which is about 7.80 x 108 km away?

4) A ball rolling at 4.0 m/s accelerates uniformly down a hill at 5.5 m/s2 for 6.0 seconds. What is the final velocity?

5) A racing car traveling initially at 8.0 m/s accelerates uniformly at 10.0 m/s2 for 5.0 s. How far does it travel in this time?

6) How fast does a car have to accelerate to go from 10.0 m/s to 30.0 m/s in 125 m?

7) A baseball is hit straight up in the air with an initial velocity of 38 m/s. How long does it stay in the air?

8) A racing car travels 480 kilometers in 2.0 hours. Calculate the car’s average speed in km/h and m/s.

 

9) A gun is fired and the bullet is accelerated in the gun barrel, which is 1.00 meters long. The bullet leaves the barrel with a velocity of 600.0 m/s. calculate the acceleration of the bullet while it is in the barrel.

10) A ball is dropped from a roof and takes 3.0 s to reach the ground,. Calculate the elevation of the roof above the ground in meters. (neglect air resistance)

11) An adult kangaroo can jump as high as 1.80 meters. With what initial velocity must a kangaroo leave the ground to reach this maximum height?

12) A projectile is shot up with a velocity of 58.8 m/s. (Neglect air friction) Calculate the velocity of the projectile 1.5 s after firing.
