A car travels along a straight line at a constant speed of 63.5 mi/hr for a distance d and then another distance d in the same direction at another constant speed. The average velocity for the entire trip is 27.5 mi/hr.

A) What is the constant speed with which the car moved during the second distance?

answer: 17.6 mi/hr

B) Suppose 2nd distance d were traveled in the opposite direction, you had to return home at the same constant speed as found in part A. What is the average velocity for this trip?

__________________mi/hr

C) What is the average speed for this new trip?

___________________mi/hr
