Acceleration Practice Test
You must show all work in all steps just like I expect on the test. Complete and turn in by the end of
class. You will receive a classwork grade. If you get the correct answers you will also receive some extra
credit for the test. GRADED STEPS INCLUDE: picture, inventory, formula, plug in correctly, math, answer,
and units.
1. A motorcycle accelerates from a stop to 58 m/s over a distance of 26 meters. What was his

3. A skateboarder is traveling at 6m/s when they head down a hill with an acceleration of 5.3 m/s2.

4. A truck skids to a stop to avoid a wreck. How far did the skid marks stretch if they were driving
40 km/hr and stopped in 4 seconds?
5. A volleyball is spiked straight down to the floor in 0.5 seconds. If the ball was 3.5 meters in the
