This document contains a collection of SUVAT physics problems focused on kinematics and motion under constant acceleration. It covers scenarios such as acceleration, deceleration, braking distances, and velocity changes in various contexts, including cars, aircraft, and cyclists. These questions pr...
1. A car accelerates from 10 m s−1 to 30 m s−1 in 5 seconds. What is its acceleration?
2. An aircraft was travelling at a speed of 60 m s-1 when it landed on a runway. It took two minutes to stop.
Calculate the acceleration of the aircraft while coming to a stop.
3. A car is travelling at a velocity of 25 m s-1 when the engine is then turned off; calculate how far the car will
travel before coming to rest if the deceleration is 1.47 ms-2?
4. A skateboarder starts from rest at the top of a ramp and accelerates down it. The ramp is 25 m long and the
skateboarder has a velocity of 12.2 m s–1 at the bottom of the ramp.
Calculate the acceleration of the skateboarder on the ramp.
5. A train started from a station and accelerated at 0.5 m s−2 to reach its top speed of 50 m s−1 and maintained
this speed for 90 minutes.
As the train approached the next station the driver applied the brakes uniformly to bring the train to a stop in
a distance of 500 m.
(i) Calculate how long it took the train to reach its top speed.
(ii) Calculate the acceleration experienced by the train when the brakes were applied
6. A vehicle accelerates uniformly along a straight road, increasing its speed from 4.0 ms -1 to 30.0 ms-1 in 13 s.
Calculate:
a. Its acceleration,
b. The distance it moves in this time.
7. An aircraft lands on a runway at a speed of 40 ms-1 and brakes to a halt in a distance of 860 m. Calculate:
a. the braking time,
b. the deceleration of the aircraft.
