Imagine that a sprinter accelerates from rest to a maximum speed of 10.8 m/s in 1.8 seconds. In what time interval will he finish the 100-m race if he keeps his speed constant at 10.8 m/s for the last part of the race? Construct avelocity-time graph and explain how you would use it to answer this question.

Sketch the acceleration-versus-time graph from the following velocity-versus-time graph.
Bacteria move back and forth using their flagella (structures that look like little tails). Speeds of up to 50m/s(50106m/s) have been observed. The total distance traveled by a bacterium is large for its size, whereas its displacement is small. Why is this?
Based on a grade 11 physics student, answer the following question: The position-time graph below represents the motion of two speed skaters, Bill and Ted on their Excellent Adventure as they time travel back to the 1952 winter Olympics in Oslo. a) What was Ted’s acceleration through the race? (assume constant) b) Make a velocity-time graph of Bill & Ted’s Speed Skating race.
Starting from rest, a car accelerates at a constant rate of 3 m/s2 for a time of 5 s. a) Compute the velocity of the car at 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, and 5s and plot these velocity values against time. b) Compute the distance traveled by the car for these same times and plot distance values against time.

A bus forgets to stop at a bus stop. Just as he passes the stop, he begins to decelerate. Five seconds later, the bus is 80 m beyond the stop and has slowed to 10 m/sec. a) Calculate the speed of the bus as it passed the bus stop. b) what was the deceleration of the bus?
A bike first accelerates from 0.0 m/s to 5.0 m/s in 4.5 s, then continues at this constant speed for another 4.5 s. What is the total distance traveled by the bike? Use sketches on velocity vs time and acceleration vs time graphs to make your case.
While skydiving, your parachute opens and you slow from 56 m/s to 14 m's in 11s. Determine the distance you fall while the parachute is opening. Are some people faint if they experience acceleration greater than 5g (5 times the free-fall acceleration 9.8m/s Will you feel faint? Explain and discuss simplifying assumptions inherent in your explanation?

While skydiving, your parachute opens and you slow from 48 m/s to 8 m/s in 1.1s. Determine the distance you fall while the parachute is opening. Some people faint if they experience acceleration greater than 5g (5 times the free fall acceleration 9.8m/s"). Will you feel faint?

A world record was set for the mens 100-m dash in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing by usian bolt of Jamaica. Bolt coasted across the finish line with a time of 9.69s. a. If we assume that Bolt accelerated for 2,63s to reach his maximum speed, and maintained that speed for the rest of the race, calculate his maximum speed and his constant acceleration. b.During the same Olympics, Bolt also set the world record in the 200-m dash with a time of 19.30 s. Using the same assumptions about acceleration time as for the 100-m dash, what was his maximum speed for this race?
