Important Questions on Accelerated Motion
The range of a projectile is the horizontal distance it travels before it reaches the ground. The greatest range is achieved if the projectile is thrown at to the horizontal.
A ball is thrown with an initial velocity of . Calculate its greatest possible range when air resistance is considered to be negligible.

Could you easily teach somebody a proof of the equations of motion? How would you do this?


An aircraft, starting from rest accelerates uniformly along a straight runway. It reaches a speed of and travels a distance of . What is the acceleration of the aircraft along the runway?

A ball is thrown with a velocity of at an angle of to the horizontal. Air resistance has a negligible effect on the motion of the ball.
What is the velocity at the highest point of its path.

A trolley travels along a straight track. The variation with time of the velocity of the trolleyis shown in figure.
Which graph shows the variation with time of the acceleration of the trolley?

A motorway designer can assume that cars approaching a motorway enter a slip road with a velocity of and reach a velocity of before joining the motorway. Calculate the minimum length for the slip road, assuming that vehicles have an acceleration of .
