Problem 1:
A bird can fly 15 km/h. How long does it take to fly 75 km?
Problem 2:
What must your car’s average speed be in order to travel 280 km in 3.2h?
Problem 3:
If you are driving 110 km/h along a straight road and you look to the side for 2.0 s, how far do you travel during this inattentive period?
Problem 4:
A rolling ball moves from x1 = 3.4 cm to x2 = -4.2 cm during the time from t1 = 3.0 s to t2 = 6.1 s. What is its average velocity?
Problem 5:
A particle at t1 = -2.0 s is at x1 = 3.4 cm and at t2 = 4.5 s is at x2 = 8.5 cm. What is its average velocity? Can you calculate its average speed from these data?
