A bus travels 280 km south along a straight path with an average velocity of 88 km/h to the south. The bus stops for 24 min, then it travels 210 km south with an average of 75 km/h to the south.a. How long does the total trip last?b. What is the average velocity for the total trip?
You normally drive on the freeway between San Diego and Los Angeles at an average speed of 87 km/h (54 mi/h), and the trip takes 2 h and 49 min. On a Friday afternoon, however, heavy traffic slows you down and you drive the same distance at an average speed of only 62 km/h (39 mi/h). How much longer does the trip take?

2. A car accelerates along a straight road from rest to 90 km/h in 5.0s. What is the magnitude of average acceleration in meters per second squared. 3. If you are driving 110km/h along a straight road and look to the side for 2.0s, how far do you travel during this inattentive period? 4. At highway speeds, a particular car is capable of accelerating at about 1.8m/s?. At this rate, how long does it take to accelerate from 80km/h to...
A Ride to Grandma’s. Julie drives 100 km from her home to Grandmother’s house. On the way to Grandmother’s, Julie drives half the distance at 40.0 km/h and the other half at 60.0 km/h.
