Topic 2.

1 – Motion Formative Assessment


NAME: _________________________________ TEAM:__
THIS IS A PRACTICE ASSESSMENT. Show formulas, substitutions, answers (in spaces provided) and units!
1. A fly travels along the x-axis. His starting point is x = -8.0 m and his ending point is x = -16 m. His
flight lasts 2.0 seconds. What is his velocity? - 4.0 ms-1
1. _________________
s = x – x0 = - 16 – -8 = - 8 m. v = s / t = -8 / 2 = -4.0 ms-1.
2. A car traveling at 48 ms-1 is brought to a stop in 3.0 seconds. What is its acceleration?
v = 0, u = 48, t = 3.0. From a = (v – u) / t = (0 – 48) / 3.0 = 16 ms-2. 16 ms-2
2. _________________

3. The acceleration of a car is – 0.75 ms-2. If its initial velocity is 12.0 ms-1, what is its velocity 2.5
seconds later? 10. ms-1
3. _________________
v = u + at = 12 + (-0.75)(2.5) = 10.125 ms-1.
At t = 0.00 s a fly is located at 0.0 m (marked with an  ). The fly is traveling in the positive x-direction.
Every 0.50 seconds there is another  marking the fly’s position.

6. Find the acceleration of the fly. 12 ms-2
6. _________________
a = slope = rise / run = (18 – 0) / 1.50 = 12 ms-2.

Pinky and The Brain have developed a rocket that will accelerate at 16.0 ms-2.
7. How fast will they be going 25.0 seconds after liftoff? 400 ms-1
7. _________________

v = u + at = 0 + (16)(25) = 400 ms .

8. How far will they have gone 25.0 seconds after liftoff? 5000 m
8. _________________
s = ut + (1/2)at2 = 0(25) + (1/2)(16)(252) = 5000 m.

A bowling ball is launched upward with an initial speed of 25.0 ms-1.


9. How long will it take to reach its maximum height? 2.5 s
9. _________________
v = u + at → t = (v – u)/a = (0 – 25) / -10 = 2.5 s.

10. How far above its launch point will it go up? 31 m


10. ________________
s = ut + (1/2)at2 = (25)(2.5) + (1/2)(-10)(2.52) = 31.25 m.

11. How long will it be in the air before returning to its launch point? 5.0 s
11. ________________

s = ut + (1/2)at → 0 = (25)t + (1/2)(-10)t → t = 5.0 s. Note that t up = t down.
A bowling ball is dropped from a balcony on the Tower of Pisa that is 18 m above the
ground.
12. How long will it take to reach the ground? 1.9 s
12. ________________
s = ut + (1/2)at2 → - 18 = (0)t + (1/2)(-10)t2 → t = 1.897 s.

13. What will its speed be when it reaches the ground? -19 ms-1
13. ________________
v = u + at = 0 + (-10)(1.897) = - 18.97 ms-1.

A bowling ball is thrown downward at 22 ms-1 from a balcony on the Tower of Pisa
that is 18 m above the ground.
14. What will its speed be when it reaches the ground? 29 ms-1
14. ________________
v2 = u2 + 2as = 222 + 2(-10)(-18) → v = 29.05 ms-1.

15. How long will it take to reach the ground? 1.4 s


15. ________________
v = u + at → t = (v – u) /a = (-29.05 – -15) / -10 = 1.405 s.

17. What is her terminal speed? 18 ms-1
17. ________________
From graph : 18 ms-1.
18. What is her instantaneous acceleration at t = 20 s? 0.30 ms-2
18. ________________
From graph : a = slope of tangent
a = rise / run = (20 – 8.5) / 38 = 0.3026 ms-2.
19. What does the area under a velocity vs. time graph tell you? The displacement

Two cars A and B are driving at velocities represented below as scale arrows.
22. Sketch accurately the vector
representing the velocity of A relative -vB
vA
vA
to B on the grid provided. Make it the
vB
same scale. 22._See graph_
VAB = VA – VB = VA + (- VB) . VAB
23. If the grid lines in the previous graph
represent 2.0 ms-1 increments, find the magnitude of the vector you drew representing the velocity
of A relative to B. Be very exact! 31 ms-1
23. ________________
VAB,x = 15×2 ms-1. VAB,y = 4×2 ms-1. Thus VAB2 = 302 + 82 → VAB = 31.04 ms-1.
