4 basic kinematic equations
vf = vi + at
d = vit +1/2at2
d = (vi + vf /2)t
vf2 = vi2 + 2ad
Supplemental kinematic problems (former regent test problems)
1. A race car starting from rest accelerates uniformly at a rate of 4.9
m/s2. What is the car’s speed after it has travelled 200 m?
2. The Mars rover inadvertently drives off the edge of a cliff and falls
13.5 meters. If it takes 2.7 seconds for the rover to fall to the
ground, then use these values to calculate the gravity on Mars.
3. A car travelling on a straight road at 15 m/s accelerates uniformly
to a speed of 21 m/s over 12 seconds. Calculate the distance
travelled by the car over the 12 second interval as it accelerates.
