3.You cover 1950 miles while on an airplane traveling 650 mi/hr. How long did it take you to arrive at your destination?(3 hours)

4.A helicopter is traveling at 180 m/s. How far does it travel in 12 seconds?(2160 m)

5.Runner, Usain Bolt ran the 100 meter dash in 9.46 seconds. What was his velocity?(10.57 m/s or 23.7 mi/hr!!)

6. CREATE your own velocity story problem and solve for one unknown variable such as velocity (v), distance (d), ortime (t).

STATION 2: Acceleration

HINT- Use :

Directions: Draw a picture representation of each problem to assist you in solving the problem 

1.Driving in your car, you slow for traffic from 50 mph to 30 mph in 5 seconds. What was the acceleration?(-4 mi/hr/s)

2.A plane taking off accelerates to 300 mph in 55 seconds. What is the acceleration?(5.45 mph/s)

3. An airplane lands and slows down from 350 mi/hr to 100 mi/hr in 20 s. What is its acceleration? (-12.5 mi/hr/s)

4.A top fuel dragster accelerates to 400 mi/hr in 5 s. What is its acceleration?(80 mi/hr/s)

5. A cyclist accelerates from rest to 8 m/s in 3 seconds. What is his acceleration? (2.67 m/s/s)

6.CREATE your own acceleration story problem and solve for one unknown variable such as acceleration (a), change in velocity (Δv), or time (t).

STATION 3: Falling Objects

HINT- Use : d=5t2

v=10t

Directions: Draw a picture representation of each problem to assist you in solving the problem 

1.If a plant falls off a high rise building and falls for 6s, how far did it fall? What was its velocity as it hit the ground?(180 m, 60 m/s)

2.You drop a rock off an ocean cliff and it takes 10 seconds before you see a splash. How tall is that cliff? How fast was the rock going when it hit the water?(500 m, 50 m/s)

3.If you drop a bouncy ball off a roof and it takes 3.5 seconds to hit the ground, how tall is the roof? What is the ball’s velocity as it hits the ground? What is the acceleration of that ball on the way down? What is the acceleration of the ball up after it bounces? (61.25 m, 35 m/s, a=___m/s2

a=___m/s2)

4.CREATE your own falling distance and falling velocity story problem and solve for both distance and velocity.

5. CREATE a story problem for the graph if this were velocity vs. time graph.

STATION 4:Net Force and Projectile Motion

  1. A box is being pushed by two stellar science students, one on each side of the box. Ali is pushing the box with a force of 10 N to the left. Hassan is pushing the box with a force of 15 N to the right. Who is the stronger individual and what is the net force and direction on the box.
  1. During tug of war Ayah felt she was supergirl and attempted to beat Mona. Ayah with one arm on the rope and the other at her side applied a 100 N force to the left, while Mona applied a 100 N force with both hands to the right. What is the net force and direction on the rope?
  1. Ayah finally decided to take this seriously and put both hands on the rope and applied a 150 N force to the left, while Mona still struggled with his 100 N force to the right. What is the net force and direction of motion?
  1. Hussein and Yousef are helping a friend move her couch into her living room. Hussein pushes with a 20 N force to the right and Yousef pulls with 30 N force to the right. What is the net force and direction of motion?
  1. CREATE your own story problem to calculate net force.
  1. How are the components of a projectile related?
  1. What is the most efficient launch angle?
  1. What 2 launch angles will land at the same spot?
  1. Which component of a projectile’s velocity stays constant?
  1. What is the only force that acts on a projectile?
