PHYSICS 1408, QUIZ 1, July 11, 2008
Most of this will be almost TRIVAL, if you were in class this week, paid attention, & read Ch. 1 & part of Ch. 2!
Partial credit will be LIBERAL, provided that you show your work!
Use back if necessary (please tell me that you have done so!)
Please write NEATLY & LARGE ENOUGH for me to read! Thanks.

2. (6 points) When discussing Ch. 1, we covered many topics. Briefly state what ONE of these
was.
3. (5 points) A man starts from rest at x0 = 0 & runs a distance x = 55 m before stopping to rest.
His acceleration is constant (except for the short times it takes him to start & to stop, which you may
neglect) & is equal to a = 3.0 m/s2. Calculate the runner’s velocity v just before he stops to
rest.
4. (5 points) A ball is dropped (from rest) from the top of a building y = 45 m above the ground.
Calculate the time it takes to hit the ground.
