  1. An object moves with initial speed 4 m/s and constant acceleration 4 m/s^2. How far does it travel in 4 s?
  2. A frictionless slide is 20 m high. A child starts from rest at the top. Taking g = 10 m/s^2, what is the child's speed at the bottom?
  3. A 2 kg cart moving at 9 m/s hits a 1 kg cart at rest and the two stick together. What is their common speed afterwards?
  4. A car drives around a circular curve of radius 4 m at 8 m/s. What is its centripetal acceleration?
  5. What is the gauge pressure due to water at a depth of 2 m? (density 1000 kg/m^3, g = 10 m/s^2)
  6. A car starts at 5 m/s and accelerates uniformly at 5 m/s^2 for 4 s. What is its final speed?
  7. An object moves with initial speed 10 m/s and constant acceleration 6 m/s^2. How far does it travel in 5 s?
  8. A ball is thrown straight up at 30 m/s. Taking g = 10 m/s^2 and ignoring air resistance, what maximum height does it reach?
  9. A frictionless slide is 1.8 m high. A child starts from rest at the top. Taking g = 10 m/s^2, what is the child's speed at the bottom?
  10. A 2 kg cart moving at 6 m/s hits a 1 kg cart at rest and the two stick together. What is their common speed afterwards?
  11. A car drives around a circular curve of radius 10 m at 20 m/s. What is its centripetal acceleration?
  12. What is the gauge pressure due to water at a depth of 5 m? (density 1000 kg/m^3, g = 10 m/s^2)
  13. A car starts at 10 m/s and accelerates uniformly at 2 m/s^2 for 6 s. What is its final speed?
  14. A car drives around a circular curve of radius 5 m at 10 m/s. What is its centripetal acceleration?
  15. A car starts at 5 m/s and accelerates uniformly at 3 m/s^2 for 3 s. What is its final speed?
  16. A 4 kg block is pulled along a rough floor by a horizontal force of 50 N. Friction is 10 N. What is the block's acceleration?
