Displacement Sample
Problem
 During a race on level ground, Andrea runs
with an average velocity of 6.02 m/s to the
east. What is Andrea’s displacement after
137s ?
 Given: vavg = 6.02 m/s
∆T= 137s
 Unknown: ∆x = ?
∆x = vavg∆T = (6.02 m/s)(137s)= 825m to the
east
Average Velocity
Practice Problem
 A bus travels 280km south along a straight
path with an average velocity of 88 km/h to
the south. The bus stops for 24 min. Then, it
travels 210 km south with an average
velocity of 75 km/h to the south. What is the
average velocity for the total trip?
Average Acceleration
Sample Problem
 A shuttle bus slows down with an average
acceleration of -1.8 m/s2. How long does it
take the bus to slow from 9.0 m/s to a
complete stop?

Displacement With
Constant
A racing carAcceleration
reaches a speed of 42 m/s. It then begins a
uniform negative acceleration, using its parachute and
braking system, and comes to rest 5.5s later. Find the
distance that the car travels during braking.
Velocity and Displacement with
Constant Acceleration
 A plane starting at rest at one end of a runway
undergoes a uniform acceleration of 4.8 m/s2 for 15s
before takeoff. What is its speed at takeoff? How long
must the runway be for the plane to be able to take
off?
