vx is the velocity of a particle moving along the x axis as shown. If x = 2.0 m at t = 1.0 s, what is the position of the particle at t = 6.0 s? ​ ​

A rock is thrown downward from an unknown height above the ground with an initial speed of 10 m/s. It strikes the ground 3.0 s later. Determine the initial height of the rock above the ground.

A car originally traveling at 30 m/s manages to brake for 5.0 seconds while traveling 125 m downhill. At that point the brakes fail. After an additional 5.0 seconds it travels an additional 150 m down the hill. What was the acceleration of the car after the brakes failed?

The velocity at the midway point of a ball able to reach a height y when thrown with velocity vi at the origin is:

Two identical balls are at rest and side by side at the top of a hill. You let one ball, A, start rolling down the hill. A little later you start the second ball, B, down the hill by giving it a shove. The second ball rolls down the hill along a line parallel to the path of the first ball and passes it. At the instant ball B passes ball A:

An electron, starting from rest and moving with a constant acceleration, travels 2.0 cm in 5.0 ms. What is the magnitude of this acceleration?

A particle moving with a constant acceleration has a velocity of 20 cm/s when its position is x = 10 cm. Its position 7.0 s later is x = −30 cm. What is the acceleration of the particle?

A toy rocket, launched from the ground, rises vertically with an acceleration of 20 m/s² for 6.0 s until its motor stops. Disregarding any air resistance, what maximum height above the ground will the rocket achieve?

The equation that solves a problem is . The problem is:

A skier leaves a ski jump with a horizontal velocity of 29.4 m/s. The instant before she lands three seconds later, the magnitudes of the horizontal and vertical components of her velocity are:

Driver A is cruising along enjoying the fall colors. Driver B starts her car at the instant he passes her. Their velocities are shown as functions of time in the graph below. At what instants in time on the graph are drivers A and B side by side?

To help Kim practice for the Special Olympics, Sally runs beside him for half the required distance. She runs the remaining distance at her regular speed and arrives 90 seconds ahead of Kim. What is the ratio of Sally's regular speed to Kim's speed? Use tKim for Kim's total time.

A 50-gram superball traveling at 25.0 m/s is bounced off a brick wall and rebounds at 22.0 m/s. A high-speed camera records this event. If the ball is in contact with the wall for 3.50 ms, what is the average acceleration of the ball during this time interval?

An automobile manufacturer claims that its product will, starting from rest, travel 0.40 km in 9.0 s. What is the magnitude of the constant acceleration required to do this?

A car travels north at 30 m/s for one half hour. It then travels south at 40 m/s for 15 minutes. The total distance the car has traveled and its displacement are:

A juggler throws two balls to the same height so that one is at the halfway point going up when the other is at the halfway point coming down. At that point:

An object is thrown vertically upward such that it has a speed of 25 m/s when it reaches two thirds of its maximum height above the launch point. Determine this maximum height.

A particle moving along the x axis has a position given by x = (24t - 2.0t3) m, where t is measured in s. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the particle at the instant when its velocity is zero?
