YOU MUST SHOW YOUR WORK. You can use a calculator but you
must show all of the steps involved in doing the problem.
SPEED
3. You arrive in my class 45 seconds after leaving math which is 90 meters away. How fast did you travel?
4. A plane travels 395,000 meters in 9000 seconds. What was its speed?
5. It takes Serina 0.25 hours to drive to school. Her route is 16 km long. What is Serina’s average speed on her
drive to school?
TIME
6. How much time will it take for a bug to travel 5 meters across the floor if it is traveling at 1 m/s?
7. You need to get to class, 200 meters away, and you can only walk in the hallways at about 1.5 m/s. (if you run

9. How far can you get away from your little brother with the squirt gun filled with paint if you can travel at 3 m/s
and you have 15s before he sees you?
10. How far can your little brother get if he can travel at 2.5 m/s and in 5 seconds you will discover that his squirt
gun has run out of paint?
12. Distance travelled by a train and time taken by it is shown in the following table,
What is the average speed of the train? At what distance does the train slows down?
When is the train travelling at the highest speed? Calculate the speed of the train between 10:40 AM
to 11:00 AM.
