Speed and Acceleration Word Problems
  • Be sure to show your work. You should have a
    formula triangle for each problem.

1
  • If it takes 2 hours to travel 8200 meters, what
    is the average speed in meters/min?

3
2
  • A car has an average speed of 32 miles per hour.
    How far can it travel in 7 hour and 15 minutes?

4
3
  • How long does it take to travel 330 miles, if the
    average speed is 59 miles per hour?

5

  • A football field is about 100 m long. If it
    takes a person 20 seconds to run its length, how
    fast (what speed) were they running?

5
  • The pitchers mound in baseball is 85 meters from
    the plate. It takes 4 seconds for a pitch to
    reach the plate. How fast is the pitch?

7

  • If you drive at 100 km/hr for 6 hours, how far
    will you go?

8
7
  • Every summer I drive to Michigan. It is 3900 km
    to get there. If I average 100 km/hr, how much
    time will I spend driving?

  • The fastest train in the world moves at 500
    km/hr. How far will it go in 3 hours?

10
9
  • A bullet travels at 850 m/s. How long will it
    take a bullet to go 2 km. (Hint you will need
    to remember metric conversions)

11
10
  • It is 21,000 kilometers around the earth and the
    earth rotates once every 24 hours. How fast is
    the earth rotating?

12

  • What is the speed of a rocket that travels 9000
    meters in 12.12 seconds?

13
12
  • What is the speed of a jet plane that travels 528
    meters in 4 seconds?

14
13
  • The space shuttle Endeavour is launched to an
    altitude of 500,000 m above the surface of the
    Earth. The shuttle travels at an average speed
    of 700 m/s. How long will it take for Endeavor
    to reach its orbit?

15
14
  • How long will your trip take (in hours) if you
    travel 350 km at an average speed of 80 km/hr?

16
15
  • How many seconds will it take for a satellite to
    travel 450 km at a speed of 120 m/s?

17
16
  • How far (in meters) will you travel in 3 minutes
    running at a speed of 6 m/s?

18
17
  • What is the speed of a car that traveled a total
    of 75 km in 1.5 hours?

19
18
  • What is the speed and velocity of a plane that
    traveled 3000 miles from New York to California
    in 5 hours?

20
19
  • John took 45 minutes to bicycle to his
    grandmothers house, a total of 4 km. What was
    his speed in kilometers per minute? What was his
    speed in kilometers per hour?

21
20
  • It took 3.5 hours for a train to travel the
    distance between two cities at a speed of 120
    km/hr. How many kilometers are there between the
    two cities?

22
21
  • A car goes from 0 to 100 km/hr in 10 sec. What
    is its acceleration?

23
22
  • A bus slams on its breaks and goes from 30 km/hr
    to 15 km/hr in 4 sec. What is the acceleration?

24
25
  • A meteoroid changed velocity from 1.0 km/s to 1.8
    km/s in .03 seconds. What is the acceleration of
    the meteoroid?

25
26
  • The space shuttle releases a space telescope into
    orbit around the earth. The telescope goes from
    being stationary to traveling at a speed of 1700
    m/s in 25 seconds. What is the acceleration of
    the satellite?

26
27
  • A car traveling at 10 m/s starts to decrease
    steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 20
    seconds. What is the acceleration?

27
28
  • An airplane travels down a runway for 4.0
  • seconds with an acceleration of 9.0 m/s². What
    is the change in velocity during this time?

28
29
  • Pete the penguin loves to sled down his favorite
    hill. If he hits a speed of 50 m/s after 5
    seconds, what is his rate of acceleration?

29
30
  • A car traveling at a speed of 25 m/s increases
    its speed to 30.0 m/s in 10.0 seconds. What is
    the acceleration?

30
31
  • In 0.5 seconds, a projectile goes from 0 to 300
    m/s. What is the acceleration of the projectile?
