Step 1
Given: Distance moved away from the trainer, d = 116m Time taken to move away, t1 = 14.0s Distance moved back, d/2 = 58m Time taken to move back, t2 = 4.8s Average speed = Total distance / Total time Total distance = d + d/2 = 116m + 58m = 174m Total time = t1 + Show more…

1. A person covers a distance of 320 miles in a travel time of 8 hours. What is the speed for this trip? 2. A car travels with an average speed of 55 miles/hr. What is this speed in km/hr? km/s? m/s? 3. The velocity of a car moving in a straight line increases from 8 m/s to 22 m/s in 7 seconds. What is the average acceleration of the car during this period? 4. Starting from rest and moving in a straight line, a runner achieves a speed of 7.0 m /s in a time of 4.5 seconds. Determine the average acceleration of the runner. 5. The velocity of a car decreases from 25 m/ s to 12 m / s in a time of 4.2 seconds. What is the average acceleration of the car?

A car travels along a straight line at a constant speed of 56.5 mi/h for a distance d and then another distance d in the same direction at another constant speed. The average velocity for the entire trip is 34.5 mi/h. A) What is the constant speed with which the car moved during the second distance d? B) Suppose the second distance d were traveled in the opposite direction; you forgot something and had to return home at the same constant speed as found in part (a). What is the average velocity for this trip? C) What is the average speed for this new trip?

(II) A horse canters away from its trainer in a straight line, moving 116 $\mathrm{m}$ away in 14.0 $\mathrm{s}$ . It then turns abruptly and gallops halfway back in 4.8 $\mathrm{s}$ . Calculate $(a)$ its average speed and (b) its average velocity for the entire trip, using "away from the trainer" as the positive direction.
