Suppose you drive from home to your child's school, pick her up, and drive back home, covering a total distance of 25 miles in 1 hour. Which of the following statements are true? Select all the true statements. Your average speed for the trip is zero. You must accelerate when you reach the school. Your average velocity for the trip is 25 miles per hour. Your average speed for the trip is 25 miles per hour. Your velocity is different on the return home than it is on the way to school.
