This document contains multiple word problems related to physics concepts like velocity, acceleration, and Newton's laws of motion. It asks the reader to calculate distances, velocities, accelerations, and forces based on information provided in various scenarios involving running tracks, baseball pitching, walking, kicking cats, punching people, and forces in our solar system. It also reviews definitions of Newton's laws and the factors that affect acceleration.
2. 1. Julie runs 0.99 laps on a 400 m track. What is her total distance travelled?
3. 2. A cat runs 17 m into the street where a car runs over it. What is the cat’s total distance travelled? What is its displacement?
4. If we’re trying to measure how fast a pitched ball is moving, then we need to find the distance it traveled and divide it by the total time it took to travel.
6. If the pitching mound is 60 ft. 6 in. from home plate, that is roughly 18.5 meters. v = d/t and in this case, distance is 18.5 meters So . . . Let’s say it took Chewy’s baseball 0.5 seconds to reach home plate, then . . .
