Physics 151 Practice Test II
(Chapters 2-3)
It may help to draw a picture if one is not provided.
In some of the problems, the solutions to earlier parts will be required to complete
later parts. However, if you cannot solve the earlier parts, you will receive full
credit if you write down what you would do with the information from the earlier
parts if you had it, i.e., if you write down an equation showing how the missing piece
of information could be used to find the answer to the part of the problem you’re
doing
1. You see a stalled vehicle and brake your car with an acceleration
of 5 m/s2 to stop and help. If your initial speed is 30 m/s,
a. what distance does the car travel before coming to a stop? (15)
b. How long does it take your car to stop? (15)
c. How far does your car travel in the last second before
stopping? (10)
