Check Your Understanding-Kinematics

This document contains 17 physics problems related to kinematics, including calculating acceleration, velocity, distance, and time given values for some of those quantities. The problems involve objects like cars, rockets, bikes, feathers, bullets, airplanes, and kangaroos accelerating or moving with constant acceleration. The goal is to use kinematic equations to solve for unknown values related to motion under conditions of constant acceleration.

Determine the acceleration of the car and the distance traveled.

2. A feather is dropped on the moon from a height of 1.40 meters. The


acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.67 m/s 2. Determine the time for the
feather to fall to the surface of the moon.

3. Rocket-powered sleds are used to test the human response to acceleration. If


a rocket-powered sled is accelerated to a speed of 444 m/s in 1.83 seconds,
then what is the acceleration and what is the distance that the sled travels?
