    THIS IS A PRACTICE ASSESSMENT. Show formulas, substitutions, answers (in spaces provided) and
    units!
    1. A fly travels along the x-axis. His starting point is x = -8.0 m and his ending point is x = -16 m. His
    flight lasts 2.0 seconds. What is his velocity? 1.

    2. A car traveling at 48 ms-1 is brought to a stop in 3.0 seconds. What is its acceleration?
    2.
    _________________

    3. The acceleration of a car is – 0.75 ms -2. If its initial velocity is 12.0 ms -1, what is its velocity 2.5
    seconds later? 3.
    _________________

    At t = 0.00 s a fly is located at 0.0 m (marked with an  ). The fly is traveling in the positive x-
    direction. Every 0.50 seconds there is another  marking the fly’s position.

    Two cars A and B are driving at velocities represented below as scale arrows.
    22. Sketch accurately the vector
    representing the velocity of A relative
    to B on the grid provided. Make it the vA
    same scale. 22._See graph_
