(b) If the straight-line distance from her home to the university is 10.3 km in a direction south of east, what was her average velocity? (c) If she returned home by the same path 7 h 30 min after she left, what were her average speed and velocity for the entire trip?

Abdul, while driving to school. computes the average for his trip to be 20km/h. On his return trip along the same route, there is less traffic and the average speed is 40km/h. What is the average speed for Abdul's trip?
A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 11 degrees to the right of her original course, and flies 2 h in the new direction. If she maintains a constant speed of 625 mi/h, how far is she from her starting position? (Round your answer to the nearest mile.)

A student drives the 105-mi trip back to campus after spring break and travels with an average speed of 63 mi/h for 1 hour and 30 minutes for the first part of the trip. (a) What distance was traveled during this time? Answer: 94.5 mi (b) Traffic gets heavier, and the last part of the trip takes another half-hour. What was the average speed during this leg of the trip? (c) Find the average speed for the total trip.
A girl swims the length of a pool and back in 28.0 s.The pool is 21.6 m long, and the girl's speed is constant.compute her speed v and her average velocity?
At the scene of a car accident, the forensic investigator measured the skid marks from one of the vehicles to be 83 m long. He also knows the typical acceleration for a car when you slam on the brakes is -4 m/s 2. The speed limit for this area is 100 km/hr (about 28 m/s). Was the car speeding before it hit the brakes?
You drive your car from home to school at an average speed of 60 kph East for 1 hr and then continue 80 kph North for 1.5 hrs. (a) What is your average speed for the entire trip? (b)What is your average velocity for the entire trip?
Suppose that you drive the 10.0 km from your university to home in 20.0 min. Calculate your average speed (a) in kilometersper hour (km/h) and (b) in meters per second (m/s). (Note: Average speed is distance traveled divided by time of travel.)
