    This document contains 15 exercises involving kinematics concepts like constant acceleration, velocity, and deceleration. The exercises calculate values like acceleration, velocity, distance, and time using kinematic formulae for motion with constant acceleration in one dimension. Assumptions made in the questions include objects accelerating or decelerating at constant rates and moving in straight lines.

    Section 3: The constant acceleration formulae

    Exercise level 2
    1. A cyclist travels 1.3 km as he accelerates at a rate of k ms-2 from 15 kmh-1 to
    30 kmh-1. Find a value for k.

    2. A cheetah has the ability to accelerate from rest to 108 kmh-1 in 25 metres. Find the
    acceleration. What assumption have you made?

    3. A train starts from rest and after 20 seconds is travelling at 30 ms-1. It travels at this speed
    for 1 minute. Find the acceleration in the first 20 s and the total distance travelled. What
    assumptions are inherent in the question?

    4. A driver is keeping to a steady 70 kmh-1 when she sees that 60 m ahead the road is
    blocked because of an accident. She immediately applies her brakes to produce a
    deceleration of 5 ms-2. Does she come to rest before the accident and if so by how much?

    5. The Highway Code states that a car travelling at 20 ms-1 requires a minimum braking
    distance of 30 m. What deceleration is this and how long will it take for the car to come to
    rest?

    6. A particle moves in a straight line increasing its velocity from 2 ms-1 to 16 ms-1 in 10
    seconds. Find the acceleration of the particle in this time and the distance that it travels.

    7. A girl standing on a bridge throws a stone vertically upwards at 6 ms-1. It hits the water
    below the bridge after 2 seconds. Find the speed at which the stone hits the water and the
    initial height of the stone.

    8. A ball is thrown vertically upwards at 25 ms-1. Find the length of time for which the ball
    is above 3 m from the point of projection.

    9. A train stops at two stations A and B. It accelerates from rest from station A to a speed of
    144 kmh-1 in 3 minutes and maintains this speed for 10 minutes. It then decelerates for 2
    minutes and comes to rest at station B. Find the total distance between A and B.

    10. A particle moving in a straight line with a constant acceleration covers 10 m in 2 seconds
    and 22 m in a further 2 seconds. How much further does it travel in the next two seconds?

    11. A train is brought to rest with uniform deceleration. It travels 30 m in the first 2 seconds,
    and a further 30 m in the next 4 seconds. Find
    (i) the initial velocity,
    (ii) the deceleration,
    (iii)total time to come to rest.

    12. A particle accelerates from rest with an acceleration of 3 ms-2 to a speed V. It continues at
    this speed for time T and then decelerates to rest at 1.5 ms-2. The total time for the motion
    is 1 minute, and the total distance travelled is 1 km. Find a value for V.

    13. A ball is thrown vertically upwards at 25 ms-1 at the same time as another is thrown
    vertically downwards, from the same point, at 25 ms-1. How far apart are the balls after 2
    seconds?

    14. A bus sets off from stop A and accelerates uniformly for t1 seconds covering
    300 m. It then travels at a constant speed v for t2 seconds covering another
    1250 m. It decelerates for t3 seconds to come to rest at stop B. Given that the total time
    for the journey is 3 minutes and that 2t1 = 3t3, find t1, t2, t3, v, and the distance AB.

    15. A particle P1 is projected vertically upwards, from horizontal ground, with a speed of 30
    m s-1. At the same instant another particle P2 is projected vertically upwards from the top
    of a tower of height 25 m, with a speed of 10 m s-1. Find
    (i) The time for which P1 is higher than the top of the tower,
    (ii) The velocities of the particles at the instant when the particles are at the same height,
    (iii) The time for which P1 is higher than P2 and is moving upwards.
