speed and average velocity of the car for the entire trip?
2. A plane travels from City A to City B, a distance of 1200 kilometers, in 2 hours. After a 30-minute layover, it
travels back from City B to City A at a speed of 600 km/h. What is the average speed for the entire trip?
3. A runner completes a 400-meter track in 50 seconds. What is the runner’s average speed, and what is their
average velocity for one full lap around the track?
4. A thief in a car is traveling at a constant speed of 100 km/h, while a police car starts 200 meters behind,
moving at a constant speed of 110 km/h. How much time will it take for the police car to catch up with the
thief, and how far will both cars have traveled when the police car catches the thief?
5. Two people are traveling in opposite directions. Person A is traveling at a speed of 57.6 km/h, and Person B
is traveling at a speed of 45 km/h. How much time, in seconds, will it take for the two people to reach a
separation of 12 kilometers?
