Rank the paths according to (a) the average velocity of the objects and (b) the average speed of the objects, greatest first.

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?
In a friendly game of chicken, Car A has a starting distance of 160m in front of Car B. Both cars start with the same speed of 100 km/h, and both cars accelerate at constant rates. Knowing that Car B accelerates at 4.25 m/s^2. And car A accelerates at 4.00 m/s^2 . Determine the position in meters, that they crash.
A particle's position on the x axis of Fig. 2-1 is given byx = 4 - 27t + t3,with x in meters and t in seconds.(a) Because position x depends on time t, the particle must be moving. Find the particle's velocity function v(t) and acceleration function a(t).(b) Is

- Most important in an investigation of an airplane crash by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board is the data stored on the airplane’s flight-data recorder, commonly called the “black box” in spite of its orange coloring and reflective tape.The recorder is engineered to withstand a crash with an average deceleration of magnitude 3400g during a time interval of 6.50 ms.
