A person travels by car from one city to another with differentconstant speeds between pairs of cities. She drives for 30.0min at 80.0 km/h, 12.0 min at 100 km/h, and 45.0 min at 40.0km/h and spends 15.0 min eating lunch and buying gas. (a)Determine the average speed for the trip. (b) Determine thedistance between the initial and final cities along the route.

The world record for the hundred meter dash is 9.58 s.What is the corresponding average speed in units of m/s,km/h,ft/s,and mi/h? At this speed, how long would it take to run 1.00 x 102 yards?
In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.31 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, because she hikes for 6.93 km with an average velocity of 2.06 m/s due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.688 m/s due east. How far east did she walk (in kilometers)?
An object is thrown from a level field with initial upward speed 17 m/s and forward speed 9.9 m/s. How far (in m) from its launch point is its landing place? You do not need to put the unit in the answer, just the number. As usual, ignore air resistance, etc; use the acceleration due to gravity as 9.8 meters per second squared.
When the legal speed limit for the New York Thruway was increased from 55 mi/h to 65 mi/h, how much time was saved by a motorist who drove the 700 km between the Buffalo entrance and the New York City exit at the legal speed limit?
You normally drive on the freeway between Tayasan and Bayawan City at an average speed of 105 km/h, and the trip takes 2 h and 20 min. On a Friday afternoon, however, heavy traffic slows you down and you drive the same distance at an average speed of only 74.5 km/h. How much longer does the trip take?
Rob drove to the nearest hospital with an average speed of v m/s in t seconds. If he drives home on the same path, but with an average speed of 3v m/s, how long is the return trip home in terms of t?
A person takes a trip, driving with a constant speed of 89.5 km/h, except for a 22 minute rest stop. If the persons average speed is 77.8 km/h how much time is spent on the trip and what distance did they travel?
A deer is running east to west on a straight line. It runs (a) at a constant speed of 2.5 m/s for the first 24 sec, (b) at a reduced speed (also constant) of 0.6 m/s for the next 15 sec, (c) sprints at a constant speed of 3.1 m/s for the next 1 minute and 40 seconds. Compute the total distance covered and the average speed in mph.
A typical jetliner lands at a speed of 160 mi/h and decelerates at the rate of (10.0 mi/h)/s. If the plane travels at a constant speed of 160 mi/h for 1.00 s after landing before applying the brakes, what is the total displacement of the aircraft between touchdown on the runway and coming to rest?
An object is thrown straight upward with an initial velocity of 13.1 m/s. What's the object's maximum upward displacement? (Enter a number assuming proper SI Units)
what is the average speed in m/s for a person who ran a mile in 4.04 minutes?
A suspicious-looking man runs as fast as he can along a moving sidewalk from one end to the other, taking 2.50 s.Then security agents appear, and the man runs as fast as he can back along the sidewalk to his starting point, taking 10.0 s.What is the ratio of the man’s running speed to the sidewalk’s speed?
