A cyclist moves along a straight path with an initial speed of 5 m/s. If the cyclist accelerates uniformly at 2 m/s² for 10 seconds, what will be the final speed and the distance traveled?
💡 Hint: Apply two different kinematic equations for speed and distance.
An object is dropped from rest from a height of 45 m. Calculate the time it takes to hit the ground and the velocity just before impact.
💡 Hint: Think about both the time of fall and final velocity using the laws of motion.
