Speed Acceleration Worksheet

This document contains a speed and velocity worksheet with 10 problems. It provides definitions of key terms like velocity, distance, time, and average speed. It asks students to calculate speed, distance, and time based on given values. For example, it asks students to calculate the average speed of a golf cart that traveled 140 meters in 10 seconds. It also contains questions about acceleration, such as calculating the average acceleration of a roller coaster car or lizard based on their change in velocity over time.

Speed Problems Worksheet #1 Name______________________________

Velocity = Distance/Time
Distance = Velocity x Time
Time = Distance/Velocity




1. Calculate the average speed (in meters/sec) if a golf cart runs 140 meters in 10 seconds




2. Calculate the average speed (in Km/hr) of Charlie who runs to the store 4 Km away in 30 minutes?




3. Calculate the distance (in Km) that Charlie runs if he maintains the average speed from question 2 for 1 hour




4. A bicycle rider travels 50.0 Km in 2.5 hours. What is the cyclists average speed?



5. What is the average speed (in miles per hour) of the car that traveled a total of 200 miles in 5.5 hours.




6. What is the definition of the word PER?



7. How much time would it take for the sound of thunder to travel 2000 meters if sound travels a speed of 330 meters per sec.





8. How much time would it take for an airplane to reach its destination if it tr5aveled at an average speed of 790 Km/hr for a distance
of 5000 kilometers/





9. An ant can travel approximately 30 meters per minute. How many meters could an ant move in 45 minutes?





10. If humans originated in Africa and migrated to other parts of the world, some time would be required for this to occur. At the
modest rate of one kilometer per year, how many centuries would it take for humans originating in Africa to travel to China, some
10,000 Kilometers away?

Equations:
Acceleration = Final velocity Initial velocity Time = Final Velocity Initial Velocity
Time Acceleration

Final Velocity = (Acceleration * Time) + Initial Velocity

Problems: In order to receive credit for this worksheet you MUST show your work. You can use a calculator but you must
show all of the steps in the spaces provided.

1. A roller coaster car rapidly picks up speed as it rolls down a slope. As it starts down the slope, its speed is 4 m/s. But 3 seconds
later, at the bottom of the slope, its speed is 22 m/s. What is its average acceleration?




2. A cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 8 m/s in 3 seconds. What is his acceleration ? Is this
acceleration higher than that of a car which accelerates from 0 to 30 m/s in 8 seconds?





3. A car advertisement states that a certain car can accelerate from rest to 70 km/h in 7 seconds. Find the cars average acceleration.






4. A lizard accelerates from 2 m/s to 10 m/s in 4 seconds. What is the lizards average acceleration?





5. If a Ferrari, with an initial velocity of 10 m/s, accelerates at a rate of 50 m/s/s for 3 seconds, what will its final velocity be?
