ACCELERATION PRACTICE PROBLEMS
YOU MUST SHOW YOUR WORK.
You can use a calculator but you must show all of the steps involved in doing the problem.
CALCULATIONS
1. A crack head in a shopping cart rapidly picks up speed as it rolls down a slope. As it starts down the slope, its
speed is 5 m/s. 3 seconds later, at the bottom of the slope its acceleration is 20.33m/s2? What was the final
velocity of the person named crackhead Magee?
2. A dinosaur looking kid named Adam accelerates at 7.66m/s2. His starting velocity was
1 m/s and his ending velocity was 8 m/s. How much time did it take to get to this
acceleration?
3. Nathan, on a dare from Rodger, says he accelerated a vehicle into a brick wall at 30m/s2, killing the 12
kittens he had inside the car because he is a psychopath. He knows he started from rest and he knows it only
took 2.7 seconds. Roger wants to know how fast he was going right when he hit the wall. Nathan now has
even more brain damage than before and can't answer the question. What was his final velocity?
4. Fabian heard that there was a tank top sale at a store. So he sprints at 11m/s2 to buy a 25 pack. It took him 3
seconds to accelerate to his final velocity of 9m/s. What was his initial velocity?
5. Kason accelerated at 10m/s2. But, it was Kason and no one cared. So go to the next question.
6. Hannah was caught stealing a tank from a military base. She planned on using the take to blow up Coach Jeans
house. Unfortunately the military does not like thieves. Before she was blown up into little bitty pieces, a jet
launched a cruise Missile at her that accelerated at 300/m/s2. The missile has an initial velocity of om/s and a
final velocity of 1000m/s. How much time did it take to hit Hannah directly in the face from within the stolen
tank?
