A NFL D-lineman accelerates, from rest, for 1.5 seconds at a rate of 5m/s2. How far has the player moved in this time period?

5.625 m

200

If a bullet is fired upward and a second is dropped which bullet hits the ground first?

The dropped one.

200

What type of acceleration is the object experiencing?

3 cars are in a 300 m drag race.

Car A has an initial velocity of 12 m/s and has no acceleration. Car B has an initial velocity of 5 m/s and an acceleration of 0.5 m/s2. Car C moves with no initial velocity at a rate of 1 m/s2.

Which car wins the race?

Car C.

9.8 m/s

300

What is the direction of the acceleration at point D?

Down

Two sumo wrestlers are running towards each other.  One moves with an acceleration of 0.5 m/s2 starting from rest. The second moves at a rate of 0.75 m/s2 from rest. If they were 5 meters apart at the start how long will it take them to collide? 

2.83 s

500

For a ground to ground projectile how fast will it be moving right before it hits the ground?

As fast as the initial velocity of the projectile.
