The marathon is a long-distance foot race with a distance of 42.195 kilometers. The current world record time for men over the distance is 2 hours 1 minute and 39 seconds, set in the Berlin Marathon by Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya on 16 September 2018. Determine his average speed (the distance traveled divided by the time required) (a) in km/h, and (b) in mi/h.

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?
To qualify for the finals in a racing event, a race car must achieve an average speed of 250 km/h on a track with a total length of 1 600 m. If a particular car covers the first half of the track at an average speed of 230 km/h, what minimum average speed must it have in the second half of the event in order to qualify?
A runner with a good awareness of her pace runs along a path of unknown length at a speed of 0.275 mi/min and then walks back to her starting point at a speed of 0.0500 mi/min. She neglects to note her time for each part of her path, but does measure the total round trip time to be 60.0 min. How far did she run? Do not include the walking distance
For a standard production car, the highest road-tested acceleration ever reported occurred in 2015, when a Porsche 918 Spyder went from zero to 26.8 m/sec (60 mi/hr – for reference) in 2.1 seconds. Find the magnitude of the car’s acceleration.
A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 10 degrees to the right of her original course, and flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 640 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position?Your answer is______mi;
An object moves along the x-axis so its x-coordinate obeys the equation x=at² + bt+c, where a = 11, b = 11, and c = 17. Find the time t when its velocity and acceleration are numerically equal.
The displacement-time graph of a moving object is a straight line. Then a. its acceleration may be variable b. its velocity may be uniform c. both its velocity and acceleration may be uniform d. its acceleration may be uniform
An object's position in the x-direction as a function of time is given by the expression; x(t) = 5t2 + 2t where are quantities have proper SI Units. What is the object's average velocity in the x-direction between the times t = 1.35 s and t = 2.3 s. Just enter the number rounded to 3 significant figures and assume it has proper SI Units.
The relationship between the velocity of a body moving along the x-axis and time is given by v(t)=4t^3-5t, where the units are SI units. The total distance the body travels between the times t=0s and t=3s is
From January 26, 1977, to September 18, 1983, George Meegan of Great Britain walked from Ushuaia, at the southern tip of South America, to Prudhoe Bay in Alaska, covering 30 600 km. In meters per second, what was the magnitude of his average velocity during that time period?
A bicyclist in the Tour de France has a speed of 29.0 miles per hour (mi/h) on a flat section of the road. What is this speed in (a) kilometers per hour (km/h), and (b) meters per second (m/s)?
If you divide the total distance traveled on a car trip (as determined by the odometer) by the elapsed time of the trip, are you calculating average speed or magnitude of average velocity? Under what circumstances are these two quantities the same?
