15 m/s. Find its acceleration and the distance it has covered.

2 A car accelerates uniformly from rest and after 12 seconds has covered 40m. What are its
acceleration and its final velocity?

retardation and the time taken to come to rest from the 35m/s.

4 A particle is accelerated from 1m/s to 5m/s over a distance of 15m. Find the acceleration and the
time taken.

5 A car accelerates uniformly from 5m/s to 15m/s taking 7.5 seconds. How far did it travel during
this period.

6 A particle moves with uniform acceleration 0.5m/s2 in a horizontal line ABC. The speed of the

10 A train travels along a straight piece of track between 2 stations A and B. The train starts from
rest at A and accelerates at 1.25m/s2 until it reaches a speed of 20m/s. It then travels at this

(b) Total time taken for the journey
(c) Average speed for the journey

11 A car is being driven along a road at 25m/s when the driver suddenly notices that there is a fallen
tree blocking the road 65m ahead. The driver immediately applies the brakes giving the car a
constant retardation of 5m/s2. How far in front of the tree does the car come to rest?

12 In travelling the 70cm along a rifle barrel, a bullet uniformly accelerates from rest to a velocity of
210m/s. Find the acceleration involved and the time taken for which the bullet is in the barrel.
