Practice problems for speed and velocity?

Question

I have a science quiz on speed and velocity, you know, v=d/t?

Well I understand it, but only sort of, like I know it, but I can't think of it properly.

Can you give me any practice problems like finding time, distance or velocity? Like, 45 k/m h for 30 minutes?

Answer 1

1. What is the speed of a truck that travels 10. km in 10. minutes?



2. What distance is traveled by a police car that moves at a constant speed of 1.5 km/minute for 5.0 minutes?

3. What distance would be covered in 10. minutes by a train that travels at a constant speed of 500. meters every 10. seconds?

4. What is the average speed of a commercial jet that travels from New York to Los Angeles (4800 km) in 6.00 hours?

5. Convert your answer in problem #4 to m/s.



6. A car is traveling at an average speed of 70. m/s. How many km would the car travel in 6.5 hours?

* 2. What is your average speed in each of these cases?

a) you run 100. m at a speed of 5.0 m/s and then walk 100. m at 1.0 m/s.

b) you run for 100. s at a speed of 5.0 m/s and then walk for 100. s at a speed of 1.0 m/s?

* 3. A rabbit and a turtle are practicing for their big race. The rabbit covers a 30. m practice course in 5.0 seconds, the turtle covers the same distance in 120 seconds. If the actual race is run on a 96 m course, by how many seconds will the rabbit beat the turtle?

* 4. A tsunami caused by an earthquake occurring in Alaska in 1946 consisted of several huge waves which were found to travel at the average speed of 790 km/hr. The first of the waves reached Hawaii 4 hours 34 minutes after the earthquake occurred. From this data, calculate how far the origin of the tsunami was from Hawaii.

* 5. Two cyclist race with nearly uniform speed on a 500. m course. The blue bicycle crosses the finish line 2.0 s ahead of the red bicycle. If the red bicycle maintained an average speed of 10. m/s, what was the average speed of the blue bicycle?

Answer 2

2. First you would be able to desire to choose how long the holiday took and how long the return took. then you certainly could desire to experience them up with a ratio. and then locate out the traditional. 600km = six hundred,000 meters holiday = six hundred,000/4 hundred = 1500 seconds return holiday = six hundred,000/six hundred = one thousand seconds entire holiday time replaced into 2500 seconds. So we could chop up it into 5 aspects, 500 seconds each and each. First holiday replaced into 3/5 of the time. return holiday replaced into 2/5 of the time. So we can try this: (4 hundred + 4 hundred + 4 hundred + six hundred + six hundred)/5 2400/5 480 conventional speed is 480 m/s 3. i think of it is going to likely be a million m/s. yet i may well be incorrect. because of the fact the wheel turns one entire time each, that's in touch with the floor for a million meter each and each 2nd.
