Homework(1): One Dimensional Kinematics

Multiple Choice

The diagram above illustrates a person who, starting from the origin, walks 8 km east during first day, and 5 km
west the next day. Use it to answer questions 1 and 2.

1. What is the net displacement of the person from the initial point in two days?
A. 6 km, east B. 3 km, east C. 10 km, west D. 5 km, west E. 9 km, east

2. What is the traveled distance of the person from the initial point in two days?
A. 13 km B. 3 km C. 10 km D. 5 km E. 9 km

3. A bicyclist moves at a constant speed of 4 m/s. How long it will take for the bicyclist to move 36 m?
A. 3 s B. 6 s B. 12 s D. 9 s E. 18 s

4. An object moves at a constant speed of 6 m/s. This means that the object:
A. Increases its speed by 6 m/s every second
B. Decreases its speed by 6 m/s every second
C. Doesn’t move
D. Has a positive acceleration
E. Moves 6 meters every second

Open-Ended

1. Freddy drives 4 miles east to his friends house. He then travels 9 more miles east to the supermarket. Finally on
his way back home he runs out of gas 6 miles after leaving the supermarket. (A) What distance did Freddy
travel? (B) What was Freddy’s total displacement?

2. During the first 50 s a truck traveled at constant speed of 25 m/s. Find the distance that it traveled.

3. How far does a runner travel if they maintain a speed of 8.5 m/s for 240 s?

4. How long does it take an airplane to fly 1500 miles if it maintains a speed of 600 miles per hour?
5. A child rides a pony on a circular track with a radius of 5 m. (A) Find the distance traveled and the displacement
after the child has gone halfway around the track. (B) Does the distance traveled increase, decrease, or stay the
same when the child completes one circuit of the track? Does the displacement increase, decrease, or stay the
same? Explain. (C) Find the distance and displacement after a complete circuit of the track.

6. A car drives 10km with a speed of 72 km/hr and then runs out of gas. Then you walk 2km for the next 30 min
until you find a gas station. (A) What is the displacement of the total trip? (B) How long does the entire trip take?
(C) What is the average velocity of the entire trip?

7. Police would observe with a helicopter the time it would take for a car to travel between two wide lines placed
1/10th of a mile apart. On one occasion, a car was observed to take 7.2 seconds to travel this distance. (A) How
much time did it take the car to travel the distance in hours? (B) What is the speed of the car in miles per hour?

8. If a silkworm can produce 24 inches of silk every 15 minutes, how long will it take to produce enough silk for a
scarf, which required 45 meters of silk? (1m = 39.37 in)

9. [Honors]I run around a circular track, with radius 25m, for 4 and ¼ times before stopping. It takes me 16
minutes. (A) What is my speed? (B) What is my velocity? (Don’t worry about direction)
10. The fastest and longest skydive fell an amazing 19.5 miles. His average speed while falling was 254 mi/hr. How
much time did the dive last?

11. A crazy camel walks for 450 meters. Then hops on a bicycle and rides for 100 meters, riding with a speed of 25
m/s, in the same direction. The average speed of the crazy camel for the entire trip is 7 m/s. What speed did the
camel walk?

12. [Honors]An eccentric emu runs 20 m/s for 5 minutes for the first part of his trip to Hollywood. Once tired, the
emu runs at a slower speed for the next hour. The average velocity of the emu is 15 m/s. What speed was the
emu running when he was tired?

13. [Honors]Bradd stands 6km west of a flagpole, and runs towards it with a speed of 9km/hr. Pitt stands 5km east
of the flagpole, and runs toward it with a speed of 8km/hr. At what displacement from the flagpole are they
when they meet?

14. For the first 10 seconds a squirrel runs 3 m/s to look for an acorn. The next 5 seconds he eats an acorn that he
finds. Afterwards the squirrel runs 2 m/s back to where he started. (A) How long does it take for the squirrel to
get back to where he started?
