Towns A and B in Figure P3.35 are 80.0 km apart. A couple arranges to drive from town A and meet a couple driving from town B at the lake, L. The two couples leave simultaneously and drive for 2.50 h in the directions shown. Car 1 has a speed of 90.0 km/h. If the cars arrive simultaneously at the lake, what is the speed of car 2?

You drop a ball from a window on an upper floor of a building and ii is caught by a friend on the ground when the ball is moving with speed vf. You now repeat the drop, but you have a friend on the street below throw another ball upward at speed vf exactly at the same time that you drop your ball from the window. The two balls are initially separated by 28.7 m. (a) At what time do they pass each other? (b) At what location do they pass each other relative the window?

Gaby and her cousin, Fiona, live 45 km apart. Every day, they drive by one another to get to work. Gaby leaves home at 7:00 a.m. and drives at the road speed of 60 km/h. Fiona, however, always leaves home 20 min later and therefore speeds by 10 km/h. Approximately what time will Gaby meet Fiona on the road?
A family road trip starts out in a van travelling 50km at a velocity of 75km/ hr followed by a spot of slow traffic where they travel 10km at a velocity of 25km/hr. What is the average velocity during the trip km/hr?
That's what I thought too! But the answer choices it gave were 8 m/s, 4 m/s, 2 m/s, and 6 m/s so I'm confused. I went with 8 and it was wrong.
