1-The odometer of a car reads 2000 km at the start of a trip and 2400 km at the end of the trip.

If the
trip took 8 h, calculate the average speed of the car in km h-1 and m s-1 .

2-Starting from a stationary position, Rahul paddles his bicycle to attain a velocity of 6 m s-1 in 30 s.
Then he applies brakes such that the velocity of the bicycle comes down to 4 m s-1 in the next 5 s.
Calculate the acceleration of the bicycle in both the cases.

3-The brakes applied to a car produce an acceleration of 6 m s-2 in the opposite direction to the
motion. If the car takes 2 s to stop after the application of brakes, calculate the distance it travels
during this time.

4- A bus starting from rest moves with a uniform acceleration of 0.1 m s-2 for 2 minutes. Find

(a) the speed acquired,

(b) the distance travelled.

5. A train is travelling at a speed of 90 km h-1 . Brakes are applied so as to produce a uniform


acceleration of – 0.5 m s-2. Find how far the train will go before it is brought to rest.

6. A trolley, while going down an inclined plane, has an acceleration of 2 cm s-2. What will be its
velocity 3 s after the start?

7. A racing car has a uniform acceleration of 4 m s-2. What distance will it cover in 10 s after start?

8. A stone is thrown in a vertically upward direction with a velocity of 5 m s-1. If the acceleration of
the stone during its motion is 10 m s-2 in the downward direction, what will be the height attained by
the stone and how much time will it take to reach there?

9. An athlete completes one round of a circular track of diameter 200 m in 40 s. What will be the
distance covered and the displacement at the end of 2 minutes 20 s?

10. Joseph jogs from one end A to the other end B of a straight 300 m road in 2 minutes 30 seconds
and then turns around and jogs 100 m back to point C in another 1 minute. What are Joseph’s
average speeds and velocities in jogging (a) from A to B and (b) from A to C?

11. Abdul, while driving to school, computes the average speed for his trip to be 20 km h-1. On his
return trip along the same route, there is less traffic and the average speed is 30 km h-1. What is the
average speed for Abdul’s trip?

12. A motorboat starting from rest on a lake accelerates in a straight line at a constant rate of

3.0 ms-2 for 8.0 s. How far does the boat travel during this time?

13. A ball is gently dropped from a height of 20 m. If its velocity increases uniformly at the rate of 10
m s-2, with what velocity will it strike the ground? After what time will it strike the ground?
