Problem Statement A race car accelerates uniformly from 25 m/s to 50 m/s in 5 seconds. Determine the acceleration of the car and the distance traveled. Solution Acceleration a = (50-25)/5 a = 5 m/s2 To find out the distance travelled we will use the equation V2 = U2 + 2 a S where S=( […]
Problem Statement A bullet is moving at a speed of 350 m/s when it embeds into a lump of moist clay. The bullet penetrates for a distance of 0.05 m. Determine the acceleration of the bullet while moving into the clay. (Assume a uniform acceleration.) Solution to physics problem Initial velocity of the bullet U=350 […]
Problem Statement A plane has a takeoff speed of 100 m/s and requires 1500 m to reach that speed. Determine the acceleration of the plane and the time required to reach this speed. Solution It starts from rest. So initial velocity U = 0 Final velocity = take off velocity = V = 100 m/s […]
Physics Problem set with Solution Some of the posts in this blog include sample physics problem sets along with the post content. Readers can always try those. We have decided to publish the solutions to selected problems from different sets/posts, as we have done in this post. Physics Problem Q set source: (based on the […]
