1. An airplane accelerates down a runway at 3.20 m/s 2 for 32.8 s until is finally lifts
off the ground. Determine the distance traveled before takeoff.

Given: Find:
a = +3.2 m/s2 t = 32.8 s vi = 0 m/s d = ??
Solution:
d = vi*t + 0.5*a*t2
d = (0 m/s)*(32.8 s)+ 0.5*(3.20 m/s2)*(32.8 s)2
d = 1720 m

2. A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly over a time of 5.21 seconds for a
distance of 110 m. Determine the acceleration of the car.
Given: Find:
d = 110 m t = 5.21 s vi = 0 m/s a = ??
Solution:
d = vi*t + 0.5*a*t2
110 m = (0 m/s)*(5.21 s)+ 0.5*(a)*(5.21 s)2
110 m = (13.57 s2)*a
a = (110 m)/(13.57 s2)
a = 8.10 m/ s2

vf = ??
Solution:

Given: Find:
2
a = -3.90 m/s vf = 0 m/s d = 290 m vi = ??
Solution:
vf2 = vi2 + 2*a*d
(0 m/s)2 = vi2 + 2*(-3.90 m/s2)*(290 m)
0 m2/s2 = vi2 - 2262 m2/s2
2262 m2/s2 = vi2

-370 m = (0 m/s)*(t)+ 0.5*(-9.8 m/s2)*(t)2
-370 m = 0+ (-4.9 m/s2)*(t)2
(-370 m)/(-4.9 m/s2) = t2

graph. Use the velocity-time graph to determine this distance.
b. b. Use kinematic equations to calculate the distance that Vincent
travels while decelerating.
Answers:
a. The velocity-time graph for the motion is:
 
The distance traveled can be found by a calculation of the area between the line on the
graph and the time axis.
Area = 0.5*b*h = 0.5*(25.0 s)*(25.0 m/s)
Area = 313 m
b. The distance traveled can be calculated using a kinematic equation. The solution is
shown here.
Given: Find:
vi = 25.0 m/s vf = 0.0 m/s a = -1.0 m/s2 d = ??
Solution:
vf2 = vi2 + 2*a*d
(0 m/s)2 = (25.0 m/s)2 + 2 * (-1.0 m/s2)*d
0.0 m2/s2 = 625.0 m2/s2 + (-2.0 m/s2)*d
0.0 m2/s2 - 625.0 m2/s2 = (-2.0 m/s2)*d
(-625.0 m2/s2)/(-2.0 m/s2) = d
313 m = d

t= ??

Solution:

d = vi • t + ½ • a • t2

-8.52 m = (0 m/s) • (t) + ½ • (-9.8 m/s2) • (t)2

-8.52 m = (0 m) *(t) + (-4.9 m/s2) • (t)2

-8.52 m = (-4.9 m/s2) • (t)2

(-8.52 m)/(-4.9 m/s2) = t2

d=??
Solution:
vf2 = vi2 + 2 • a • d
(0 m/s)2 = (26.2 m/s)2 + 2 •(-9.8m/s2) •d

0 m2/s2 = 686.44 m2/s2 + (-19.6 m/s2) •d

(-19.6 m/s2) • d = 0 m2/s2 -686.44 m2/s2

(-19.6 m/s2) • d = -686.44 m2/s2

2. block of wood floats in freshwater with two-fifth of its volume V submerged and
in oil with 0.75V submerged. Find the density of (a) the wood (b) the oil. 

Solution: since wood floats in water so its weight must be balanced with the buoyancy
force. 

a. In a partially submerged body, the buoyancy force Fb, Fb is defined as the

density of fluid ρf times the displaced volume of fluid Vdis times the gravitational
acceleration g. Thus, using Archimedes' principle equation, which is equating
weight and buoyancy force, we get:

W =F_b
P wood x V wood x g = p water x v dis x g
P wood x V wood x g = (1) (2/5 V wood) g
P wood = 2/5 g/cm^3

b.  Similarly, we can find the oil's density as above

F = 2 kg ×× 9.8 m/s2 = 19.6 N
The archimedes formula is given by F = ρρ g Vdisp
Hence the Volume of displaced fluid is Vdisp = FρgFρg
                                                                = 19.696×9.819.696×9.8
                                                                = 0.0208 m3
