7 questions

1

Define each of the variables used in the kinematic equations (d, vₒ, v, a, t) and state the standard SI unit for each.

2

A bicycle accelerates from rest to a velocity of 5 m/s in 2 seconds. What is the bicycle's acceleration?

Part 3 of 3

Exit ticket

Quick comprehension check

A car accelerates from rest at a constant rate of 3 m/s² for 6 seconds. What is the final velocity of the car? A ball is thrown upwards with an initial velocity of 15 m/s and experiences a constant downward acceleration of 9.8 m/s². How long does it take to reach its maximum height (where its velocity is 0 m/s)?
