2. 1D Motion / Kinematics

An explorer on the moon, where there is no atmosphere, simultaneously drops a hammer, a feather and a steel ball from the same height. Which will hit the ground first?

Hank the hammerhead shark was swimming in the negative direction with a speed of $2.0\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}$. 1.0 second later he was swimming with a velocity of $-4\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}$. What was his average acceleration during the 1.0 second interval?

A car sits on an entrance ramp to a freeway, waiting for a break in the traffic. Then the driver accelerates with constant acceleration along the ramp and onto the freeway. The car starts from rest, moves in a straight line, and has a speed of 20 m/s(45 mi/h) when it reaches the end of the 120-m-long ramp. (b) How much time does it take the car to travel the length of the ramp?

The car starts from rest, moves in a straight line, and has a speed of 20 m/s(45 mi/h) when it reaches the end of the 120-m-long ramp. (a) What is the acceleration of the car?

A rocket starts from rest and moves upward from the surface of the earth. For the first 10.0 s of its motion, the vertical acceleration of the rocket is given by ay = (2.80 m/s3)t, where the +y-direction is upward. (b) What is the speed of the rocket when it is 325 m above the surface of the earth?
