2. A car advertisement states that a certain car that Emily Miller loves can accelerate from rest to 70
km/h in 7 seconds. Find the car’s average acceleration.
3. A baby lizard startles Steven Wade. The sweet little lizard accelerates from 2 m/s to 10 m/s in 4
seconds. What is the lizard’s average acceleration as he runs away from Steven?
4. Amber moves from her desk to the door in 17 seconds. Her speed changes from rest to 0.5 m/s. What
is Amber’s average acceleration?
5. A skater glides off a frozen pond onto a patch of ground at a speed of 2.2 m/s. Here she is slowed at a
constant rate of 4.00 m/s . How fast is the skater moving when she has slid 0.42 m across the ground?
6. A toy car is given an initial velocity of 8.0 m/s and experiences a constant acceleration of 2.0 m/s .
What is the final velocity after 9.0 s?
a. a rate of displacement.
b. the rate of change of displacement.
c. the change in velocity.
d. the rate of change of velocity.
a. b. c. a = DvDt d.
4. When a car’s velocity is positive and its acceleration is negative, what is happening to the car’s
motion?
