Physics Problem
I. What is the distance ran by the GBS cross-country team if they begin at the school and run a 10 mile loop finishing back at the school?
II. In graduate school, I drove 1080 mi from school to home for the holidays. If the trip took 16 h, what was my average speed?
III. If a racecar driver does 200 laps on a 2.5 mile track, what is the displacment of the driver from the start line to the finish line?
IV. A car traveling north with a velocity of 25 m/s slows down to a velocity of 15 m/s within 5 seconds. What is the car's acceleration?
V. If the average speed of a car is 45 km/h, how far can it travel in 40 min?
VI. Falling objects drop with an average acceleration of 9.8 m/s2. If an object falls from a tall building, how long will it take before it reaches a speed of 49 m/s?
VII. What is meant by a freely falling object?
Group of answer choices
• An object under only the influence of gravity
• An object moving downward due to gravity
• A falling object such as a skydiver with an open parachute
• An object moving straight down (1-D motion only)
VIII. i) What is the velocity acquired by a freely falling object 5.0 seconds after it is dropped?
ii) What is it after 6.0 seconds?
IX. What is the acceleration of a freely falling object 2 seconds after it has been released from a height of 100 m?
X. What is the acceleration of a freely falling object 5 seconds after it has been released from a height of 200 m?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
