Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 3 m/s² for 5 seconds. Calculate the final velocity and the distance traveled during this time.
💡 Hint: Use the equations of motion under constant acceleration.
An object moving at 10 m/s accelerates at a rate of -2 m/s². How long will it take for the object to come to a stop?
💡 Hint: Remember that a negative acceleration means the object is slowing down.
