I need help on this problem: You go south of your friend's house 150 miles away at 50.0 MPH. Your friend is not there so you return home, without spending any time there, at 30 MPH. What is your average speed. What is you average velocity?
If you travel in a straight line at 50 km/h for 1 h and at 100 km/h for another hour, is your average velocity 75 km/h? If not, is it more or less? Explain.
You are driving along Lawrence Ave. at 60 km/h. You see the traffic light ahead is still green and decide to speed up to try to make it through the intersection before it turns red (poor decision!). Your car accelerates at 1.3 m/s?. You reach the light after accelerating for 4.3 seconds. What is your speed at the light in m/s? v, =v, +aAt A: Pictorial Representation Sketch showing events, describe events, coordinate system, label givens & unknowns with symbols, conversions B: Physics Representation Motion diagram, motion graphs, velocity vectors, events LLL. a +x t C: Word Representation Describe motion (no numbers),-assumptions, estimated result (no calculation) D: Mathematical Representation Describe physics of steps, complete equations, algebraically isolate, substitutions with units, final statement of prediction E: Evaluation Answer has reasonable size, direction and units?

One aeroplane travels due north at 300km/h while another travels due south at 300km/h. Are their speeds the same? Are their velocities the same? Explain.
Does acceleration depend on the speed of an object? Why or why not? Give an example of a slow object having a larger acceleration than a fast object. Can anyone think of an example of an object moving in such a way so that it is accelerating while having zero velocity?
One airplane travels due north at 300 km/h while another travels due south at 300 km/h. Are their speeds the same? Are their velocities the same? Explain.
George walks to a friend’s house. He walks 750 meters North, then realizes he walked too far. He turns around and walks 250 meters South. The entire walk takes him 13 seconds. What is his speed per second? What is his velocity in meters per second? I know the answer for the second one, velocity in meters per second is 38.46 m/s. But I'm really confused because since velocity = displacement/time. Displacement = final position - initial position. How can it equal 38.46 m/s since it should be 250 - 750 / t, not 750 - 250 / t? Please show the formula you use and explain it in an easy to understand way.

Osama was testing his new car by racing with his fiend Adam, Osama was driving at 54.0 mile/hr, enters a one-way narrow subway. Osama then observed a Truck 100 m ahead traveling at a low constant speed 3.00 m/s. Osama used his brakes but can accelerate only at -2.00 m/s² because the road was wet. Will there be an accident? Explain. If yes,
a) A car moving with a constant velocity travels 360 meters in 9 seconds. What was the average velocity of the car in m/s? b) A second car starts from rest, speeds up with constant acceleration, and travels 360 meters in 9 seconds. What was the average velocity of the second car in m/s? c) What was the final velocity of the second car (in m/s)?
1. A train leaves the station on a 50 km commute. The train must make a 60-second stopevery 1.0 km to pick up and drop off passengers. The train accelerates at 2.0 m/s2, then cruises at90 km/h, and then decelerates at 5.0 m/s2 between stops.(a.} How many stops does the train make?(b.} How long does it take for the train to get from one stop to the next?(c.} What is the total time for the entire commute?
