1. An airplane flies a distance of 3000 miles in 6 hours. How tast is it going? Hint: Uses=d/t. Show our work.
2. A skydiver opens her parachute and is dropping toward the ground at a constant speed of 0.3 m/s. If she is currently 200 meters above the ground, how long will it be before she lands on the ground? Hint: Use t = d/s. Show your work.
3. A snail crawls over the ground at 1 meter per hour. How far will the slug move in 6 minutes. Hint: Use d = s x t after you convert 6 minutes into hours. Show your work.
4. A race car accelerates from 0 to 30 mi/he (44 ft / sec) in 4 seconds. What is it's acceleration in ft /sec²? Hint: Use a = v / t.
5. A fighter jet is flying along and the pilot wants to go faster. He pushes the throttle so the jet engine is producing full power. The jet accelerates at a rate of 20 m/s² for 10 seconds. How much does the jet increase it's velocity? Hint: Use v = a x t. Show your work.
6. If the jet in question 5 above was traveling at 1000 m/s before it accelerated, how fast was it going after it accelerated for 10 seconds? Show your work.
7. A boy drops a ball. The ball accelerates at 9.8 m/s². How long does it take for the ball to reach a velocu if 1 m/s? Hint: Use t = v / a. Show your work including units.
