A cheetah accelerates from rest to a maximum velocity of 22.0 i m/s in 2.00 seconds, whilst running in a straight line. Calculate the average acceleration in m/s2. Give your answer to 3 significant figures. You do not need to write units in the answer box.
A jet accelerates at a constant rate from rest, traveling 900 m in 3.0 s. What is the magnitude of its acceleration, in m/s??
Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the
question statement.
A car starts from 2.0 m/s and accelerates at 4.0 m/s2 for 6.0 s, it coasts for 5.0 s, and then slows down at a rate of 2.0 m/s2 to a stop. How far has it traveled, in meters?
Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the
