SECTION 2 Motion with Constant Acceleration
Complete the problems below. Make sure you use a problem solving method that identifies
all of your knows and unknowns. The equation you use must be identified and written
down.
3. A car accelerates from 10.0 m/s to 15.0 m/s in 3.0 s. How far does the car
travel?
4. A race car accelerates at 4.5 m/s2 from rest. What is the cars velocity after it
has traveled 35.0 m?

7. Object B; the graph for Object B
has a larger slope than that of
Object A.
8. Object C has a negative slope, so
its acceleration is negative.
9. Object B started from rest with a
velocity of zero. Object C slows to
a stop (v 0 m/s) and remains
stopped.
