whereupon it crashed into the ground. How far did it travel in total? How long was it in
the air? What was its average speed? [Hint: The overall average is not equal to the
average of the averages. When you have several segments in a problem, label them like

We travel from Winnipeg to Regina and back. The total distance is 1100km. The return to Winnipeg is made in a snowstorm at an average speed of 20km/h slower than the outward journey. If the whole trip took 13 hours, what is the average speed in each direction?
You drive your car from home to school at an average speed of 60 kph East for 1 hr and then continue 80 kph North for 1.5 hrs.
1. What is your average speed for the entire trip?

- The Shinkansen (bullet train in Japan) makes a trip from Tokyo Station to Kyoto station in 2.0 hours and 14 min. The distance traveled is 460 km (to two significant figures). Determine the average velocity of the train in meters per second (m/s).

She then turns around and walks north a distance 3000 m in 25.0 minutes. What is her total distance covered?arrow_forwardBay City and Vernonville are 128 miles apart. A car leaves Bay City traveling towards Vernonville, and another car leaves Vernonville at the same time, traveling towards Bay City. The car leaving Bay City averages 10 miles per hour more than the other, and they meet after 1 hour and 36 minutes. What are the average speeds of the cars? The car leaving Bay City averages what mph? The car leaving Vernonville averages what mph?arrow_forward
- An object is dropped from rest and takes 2.25 seconds to reach the ground below. From what distance above the ground was it dropped? State this as a positive number and assume it has proper SI Units.arrow_forwardA pilot flies in a straight path for 1 h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 10° to the right of her original course, and flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 500 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position? (Round your answer to the nearest mile.)arrow_forward1. A ship steams at a constant velocity of 15 m/s .

- A person takes a trip, driving with a constant speed of 96.5 km/h, except for a 20.0-min rest stop. The person's average speed is 67.0 km/h. (a) How much time is spent on the trip? 1.03 Your incorrect answer may have resulted from roundoff error. Make sure you keep extra significant figures in intermediate steps of your calculation. h (b) How far does the person travel? 67.23 Your incorrect answer may have resulted from roundoff error. Make sure you keep extra significant figures in intermediate steps of your calculation. kmarrow_forwardA car accelerates with a constant acceleration of 1.2 m · s-2 along a long straight road. How long does it take the car to accelerate from 100 kph to 110 kph, and how far does it travel while doing so? [Hint: watch your units and your significant figures. Because there is no other information, take the speeds as three significant figures.] It takes seconds to accelerate to 110 kph. While accelerating, the car travels m. Separate your answers with a comma. Example: a, barrow_forwardA rock is thrown directly upward with an initial velocity of 118 feet per second from a cliff 275 feet above a beach. The height of the rock above the ground h after t seconds, is given by the equation h=−16t2+118t+275. When will the rock be 446 feet above the ground?

First used standard British units and then express the speed in mi/h for a familiar comparison. (ft/s and mi/h) (b) How far, in meters, does the object fall during the 3.9 s? Comment on how many floors the dormitory probably has. (Assume that there are 32 floors/100 m.)arrow_forwardA commuter regularly drives 30 miles from home to work, and the amount of time required for the trip varies widely as a result of road and traffic conditions. The average speed for such a trip is a function of the time required. For example, if the trip takes 2 hours, then the average speed is = 15 miles per hour. (a) What is the average speed if the trip takes an hour and a half? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) mph (b) Find a formula for the average speed s as a function of the time t required for the trip. mph (c) Make the graph of the average speed as a function of the time required.
