Chapter 2, Problem 2.20DQ
You run due cast at a constant speed of 3.00 m/s for a distance of 120.0 m and then continue running east at a constant speed of 5.00 m/s for another 120.0 m. For the total 240.0-m run, is your average velocity 4.00 m/s, greater than 4.00 m/s, or less than 4.00 m/s? Explain.

please solve this problem
a) Calculate the height (in m) of a cliff if it takes 2.33 s for a rock to hit the ground when it is thrown straight up from the cliff with an initial velocity of 8.20 m/s.
b) How long (in s) would it take to reach the ground if it is thrown straight down with the same speed?
Could I have help with this average speed and velocity problem. I already know the answers"average velocity = 2.7 m/s due east, average speed = 8.0 m/s" but I need a detailed explanantion on how and why because I am not understanding and getting the same answers
