You know that your friend's car starts at Linden at 1:30 pm and finally arrives at UG at 2:15 pm, but you don't know the route that your friend took. (It is not necessarily the shortest nor the most efficient route and it may have included stops, detours, or side trips.) The straight-line length ("as birds fly") between Linden and UG is 4.71 km, but the car's final odometer reading shows that the car travelled a total distance of 10.50 km from start to finish. What is was the average speed of the car in km/h? (round your answer to two decimal places; DO NOT include units)
A subway car leaves station A; it gains speed at the rate of 4 ft/s² for 6 s and then at the rate of 6 ft/s² until it has reached the speed of 48 ft/s. The car maintains the same speed until it approaches station B; brakes are then applied, giving the car a constant deceleration and bringing it to a stop in 6 s. The total running time from A to B is 40 s. Determine the distance between stations A and B.
While traveling at 53.1 km/h, a driver drops her cell phone on the floor of the car. She reaches down to pick it up and is not looking ahead for 3.57 seconds. How far did the car travel during this time?
