You travel from point A to point B in a car moving at a constant speed of 70 km/h. Then you travel the same distance from point B to another point C, moving at a constant speed of 90 km/h. Is your average speed for the entire trip from A to C 80 km/h? Explain why or why not.
Two locomotives 70 kilometers apart are travelling on the same track towards each other, Engine A moves at 22 kilometers per hour east and engine B moves at 13 kilometersper hour west. At the instant both trains begin moving, an annoying mutant fly beginsflying from engine A towards engine B at 33 kilometers per hour . The instant it touchesB, it turns around and flies back. It goes on this way until the two locomotives collideand the mutant fly is finally squashed. So, before its untimely demise, a) what is the total distance the fly flew? b) the time it took till it was eliminated and c) the average velocity of the fly? how can i find this please
Let's assume that East Lake Road runs due East from the Boston Store in Erie, and there are mile markers along it ("Ten Miles from the Boston Store", etc.) A car starts at the 12 mile marker going East at 2 PM, turns around at the 20 mile marker at 3 PM, and stops at the 8 mile marker at 4 PM. What is the total displacement of the car from 2 PM to 4 PM, in miles? (Use "+" for East, and "-" for West) O +4 O-20 O +20 O -4 O none of the answers is correct
A family drives on a trip to visit their relatives. On the first day they travel 550 miles with an average speed of 50 mi/hr, on the second day 420 miles with an average speed of 35 mi/hr and on the third day 585 miles with an average speed of 45 mi/hr. a) What is the total driving time? b) What is the average speed for the trip?
NASA has fired a rocket straight up into the air from ground level with an unknown initial velocity. It reaches a maximum height of 164,000 feet. This happened in Cape Canaveral therefore the rocket is under the acceleration of Earth's gavity in which we all know is -32 ft/sec/sec. Please round your answers to two decimal places. a). Find the time it takes for the rocket to reach maximum height. b). find the initial velocity necessary to reach that height.

You and your family drive to California for a well deserved vacation. You leave Houston at 4:00 am on Friday, drive straight though the night, and arrive in San Diego at 5:00 am the next day. If the distance between Houston and San Diego is 1900 kilometers, what was your average velocity on the drive? (Ignore the time zone change)
Car A was traveling east at high speed when it collided at point O with car B , which was traveling north at 45 mi/h. Car C , which was traveling west at 60 mi/h, was 32 ft east and 10 ft north of point O at the time of the collision. Because the pavement was wet, the driver of car C could not prevent his car from sliding into the other two cars, and the three cars, stuck together, kept sliding until they hit the utility pole p. Knowing that the weights of cars A, B, and C are, respectively, 3000 lb, 2600 lb, and 2400 lb, and neglecting the forces exerted on the cars by the wet pavement, solve the problems indicated.Knowing that the coordinates of the utility pole are xp= 46 ft and yp = 59 ft, determine (a) the time elapsed from the first collision to the stop at P,(b) the speed of car A.
