1

Marcus throws a ball directly up in the air with an initial velocity of $\small 35\frac{m}{s}$ . How high will the ball go?

$\small g=-9.8\frac{m}{s^2}$

2

Suppose a recreational biker averages $8.05\frac{m}{s}$ on a twenty-mile ride, equal to . A professional biker has an average speed of $11.1\frac{m}{s}$ . The professional happens to be riding on the same path, but started behind the recreational biker. The two are both headed for the same destination. Who would reach the end of the path first, and how far behind would the other biker be?

3

A tennis ball is thrown straight up and it is caught at the same height the person released the ball from their hand. Which of the following is false? Ignore air resistance.

4

Laura throws a ball vertically. She notices it reaches a maximum height of 10 meters. What was the initial velocity of the ball?

$\small g=-9.8\frac{m}{s^2}$

5

Two balls, one with mass and one with mass , are dropped from above the ground. How long does it take the ball to hit the ground?

$\small g=-9.8\frac{m}{s^2}$

6

A ball rolls along a table with a constant velocity of $0.8\frac{m}{s}$ . If it rolls for , how long was it rolling?

7

If you threw a tomato upwards with an initial velocity of $12\frac{m}{s}$ , at what time (in seconds) would the tomato hit the ground?

$g=10\frac{m}{s^2}$

8

A crate slides along a frictionless surface. If it maintains a constant velocity of $3\frac{m}{s}$ , what is the net acceleration on the crate?

9

Jenny throws a ball directly up in the air. She notices that it changes direction after approximately 3 seconds. What was the initial velocity of the ball?

$\small g=-9.8\frac{m}{s^2}$

10

A ball is thrown vertically with a velocity of . What is its velocity at the highest point in the throw?
