    This document contains examples of physics problems involving displacement, speed, velocity, acceleration, and free fall. It includes example problems calculating total distance and displacement given an object's movements in different directions. It also provides practice with concepts like average and instantaneous speed and velocity, acceleration, determining time and distance using kinematic equations, and free fall problems calculating values like maximum height, time of flight, and final velocity upon impact with the ground from initial launch conditions.

    Displacement

    x=x-
    Example 1:

    Starting frpm the church, a procession has to


    take the following route: 50 m, north; 40 m,
    east; and 60 m, north. To go back, it has to
    follow the same route but in the opposite
    direction. (a) What is the total distance traveled?
    (b) What is the total displacement?
    Speed and Velocity

    Average speed:
    = Note:
    Instantaneous speed: v=
    =
    Example 1:

    Vania walks to her school 360 m away at a


    constant speed of 3.0 m/s. ten secons later, her
    brother Angelito follows at a constant speed of
    4.0m/s. (a) How long will it take for Angelito to
    overtake Vania? (b) How far is Vania from school
    when overtaken by Angelito?
    Example 2:

    Lean and Mickey who are 150 m apart start


    walking toward each other at 3.0 m/s and 5.0
    m/s, respectively. (a) How long will it take for
    them to meet? (b) Find the corresponding
    distance traveled by each.
    Example 3:

    • A lady passenger steps on one end af a moving


    sidewalk in an airport tertminal. The sidewalk
    is 50.0 m long and is moving at 1.25 m/s. Find
    the time taken by the lady to reach the other
    end of the sidewalk. (a) if the lady is standing
    still and (b) if she walks at 1.50 m/s relative to
    the moving sidewalk and in the same direction
    as the sidewalk.
    Example 4:

    Refer to the same moving sidewalk in Sample


    Problen 3. How long will it take a passenger
    walking st 1.0 ms relative to the sidewalk, in the
    opposite direction, to reach the other end of the
    sidewalk?
    Acceleration

    =
    Instantaneous acceleration: Note:
    = v=
    Example 1:

    The position of an object as a function of time t


    is given by ) (a) Give the velocity and the
    acceleration as a function of time. (b) Find the
    velocity and the acceleration at t=2.0s.
    Example 2:

    Derive the equation of velocity and acceleration


    given that position and a are the initional
    velocity and constant acceleration, respectively.
    Find the position, velocity, and the acceleration
    of the object at t=4.0s.
    Speed and Velocity

    Average speed:
    = Note:
    Instantaneous speed: v=
    =
    Acceleration

    =
    Instantaneous acceleration: Note:
    = v=
    Example 1:
    Example 2:
    Angelito is driving at 6.0 m/s when a traffic
    enforcer signals that he should speed up. He
    then steps on the gas pedal and acceleraned
    unifomly to a speed 15 m/s in 4.5 s. Find the
    total distance Angelito traveled. Assume
    Angelito’s reaction time is 0.15s.
    Example 2:
    At the instant the traffic light goes geen, a car
    waiting at the intensection starts ahead with an
    acceleration of 2.5 m/.At the same instant, a bus
    coming from behid moving a 12.0 m/s passes
    the car. When and where will the car catch up
    with tha bus?
    FREE FALL
    Example 1:
    Jason hits a volleyball so that it moves with an
    initial velocity of 6.0 m/s straight upward. If the
    volleybal starts from 2.0 m above the floor, how
    long will it be in the air before it strikes the
    floor?
    Example 1:
    A stone is trown vertically up with the initial
    velocity of 4.9 m/s from the top of the building
    that is 52 m high. On its way down, it misses the
    top of the building and goes straight to the
    ground. Find (a) the maximum height relative to
    the ground, (b) its time of flight or the total time
    it is in the air, and (c) its velocity just before it
    reaches the ground
    Example 2:
    A boy thew a bull verticaly upward. It returned
    so his hand after 9.8 s. (a) What was the ball's
    initial speed? (b) With what speed did it return
    to the boy's hand? (c) How high did it go?
    Example 3:
    A photographer inside a helicaper descending
    vertically at 15 m/s at an altitude of 55 m
    accidentally drops his camera. How log will it
    take the camera to reach the ground?
