Answer number 5 only.

DIRECTION: Read each problem carefully then answer on the space provided. Write your
complete solution and box your final answer.
1. An automobile moving at a constant velocity of 15 m/s passes a gasoline station. Two
seconds later, another automobile leaves the gasoline station and accelerates at a constant
of 2m/s?. How soon will the second automobile will overtake the first?
2. A thief escaped and boarded on a truck then travelled at a constant speed of 55kph. Two
hours later, a policeman riding on a motoreycle pursued the fugitive at a constant speed of
60kph. How long did it take the policeman to catch up the criminal?
3. A ball is thrown vertically upward from the ground and a student gazing out of the window
sees it moving upward pass him at 5m/s. The window is 10 m above the ground. How high
does the ball go above the ground?
4. A ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of 3 m/s from the window of a
tall building. The ball strikes the sidewalk at the ground level 4 seconds late. Determine
the velocity with which the ball strikes the ground.
5. A baseball player throws a baseball upward with an initial velocity of 40 ft/s and plans to
catch it with baseball glove. Whan will the ball strike the glove? Assume the glove is
position in the same elevation when the ball left his hand.
