You drive your car 5.0 km due east at 35 km/hr and suddenly realize that you forgot your wallet. So, you return home, driving west at 40 km/hr, and upon arrival you spend 10 minutes looking for it. Finally, you get back on the road and drive a total of 57.0 km due east. If your average velocity was 40 km/hr for the whole journey, what was your average speed during the last leg?

Problem 4: Speed deamplifier. In the figure above on the right, block 1 of mass m1 slides along an x-axis on a frictionless floor at speed 4 m/sec.Then it undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary block 2 of mass m2 = 2m1. Next, block 2 undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary block 3 of mass mz = 4m1. What then is the speed of block 3? Answer: 16 m/sec or 1.78 m/sec.
