An object has a constant acceleration of -3 m/s2. The velocity versus time graph for this object has a slope:

An object with an initial velocity of 12 m/s east experiences a constant acceleration of 4 m/s2  east for 3 seconds. During this time the object travels a distance of:

Freefall acceleration g is the acceleration due to gravity. It equals 9.80 meters per second squared near the Earth’s surface. (a) What does it equal in feet per second squared? ( 1m = 3.280 feet)  

Which of the following has three significant digits?

On takeoff, a rocket accelerates from rest at a rate of 50 m/s2 for exactly 1 minute. The rocket’s speed after this minute of steady acceleration will be ____ m/s.

A cart starts from rest and accelerates at 4.0 m/s2 for 5.0 s, then maintain that velocity for 10 s, and then decelerates at the rate of 2.0 m/s2 for 4.0 s.  What is the final speed of the car?

When an object is released from rest and falls in the absence of friction, which of the following is true concerning its motion?

How many m/s is 50 mi/h equivalent to? (1 mi = 1609 m.)

Which one of the following quantities is NOT a speed?

Solve for the unknown variables: (8, 3) + (b, 2) = (4, a).
