Acceleration and Speed Problems: Make sure you show your work and the correct units. An Osprey was sitting on a telephone wire above a creek at the San Elijo lagoon in Encinitas, when it saw a large mullet (a fish) swim by. It then flew 27.0m in 3 seconds in order to catch the fish. What was the Osprey’s average speed?

Speed=

For a moment, the bird was sitting in the water with the fish in its talons. It then flew away reaching a speed of 25 m/s in 5 seconds. What was its acceleration? =

Graph the acceleration of the bird. Make sure you label the X-axis, Yaxis with the correct units and give it a title.

Acceleration and Speed problems: Make sure you show your work and the correct units. A balloon is carried by the wind at a rate of 15m/s for 5 seconds. How far did it go?

Distance= The balloon then started to slow down. It went from 45m/s to 20m/s in 5 seconds. What was its acceleration? =

Graph the acceleration of the bird. Make sure you label the X-axis, Yaxis with the correct units and give it a title.

Acceleration and Speed problems: Make sure you show your work and the correct units. A red Tail Hawk was flying when it saw a snake. It flew 40m at a speed of 10m/s. How long did it take to catch the snake?

Time= The bird then flew with the snake back to it’s nest. As it was landing, it reduced its speed from 50m/s to 0 m/s in 2.5s. What was its acceleration? =

Graph the acceleration of the bird. Make sure you label the X-axis, Yaxis with the correct units and give it a title.
