11.2 meters per second is how many miles per hour? (1 mi = 1609 m)

  A car travels 90 km/h.  How long does it take for it to travel 400 km?

An object moves 15.0 m north and then 11.0 m south.  Find both the distance traveled and the magnitude of the displacement vector.

How far does a car travel in 6 s if its initial velocity is 2 m/s and its acceleration is 2 m/s2 in the forward direction?

Vector A has a magnitude 8.0 m at an angle of 30 degrees below the +x axis.  The y-component of A is

In moving a standard computer mouse, a user applies a horizontal force of 6.00×10−2 N. The mouse has a mass of 125 g.   Assuming it starts from rest, what is its speed after moving 0.159 m across a mouse pad? Ignore forces like friction that oppose its motion.

When is the average velocity of an object  equal to the instantaneous velocity?

Suppose A = BC, where A has the dimension L / M and C has the dimension L / T. Then B has the dimension:

A car goes from 40 m/s to 80 m/s in a distance of 200 m.  What is its average acceleration?

A cart with an initial velocity of 5.0 m/s experiences a constant acceleration of 2.0 m/s2.  What is the cart’s displacement during the first 6.0 s of its motion?
