Practice Questions
Test your understanding with targeted questions
Calculate the final velocity of a car that starts from rest (u = 0 m/s) and accelerates at 2 m/s² for 4 seconds.
💡 Hint: Use the first equation of motion v = u + at.
If a runner has a constant acceleration of 1.5 m/s², how far will they travel in 10 seconds starting from rest?
💡 Hint: Substitute u = 0 since the runner starts from rest.

What is the equation used to calculate final velocity?
💡 Hint: This is the first equation of motion among the four.
True or False: The equation s = ut + (1/2)at² includes the effect of acceleration.
💡 Hint: Think about what happens if acceleration is applied over time.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 4 m/s². Calculate its velocity after 10 seconds and the distance traveled in that time.
💡 Hint: Use both the first and second equations of motion.
A ball is thrown straight up with an initial speed of 15 m/s, and it decelerates at 9.8 m/s² due to gravity. Calculate the maximum height it reaches.
💡 Hint: You will find the distance when you set final velocity to zero at the peak.
