Velocity and M/s
1. A car travels 40 kilometers at an average speed of 80 km/h and then travels 40 kilometers at an average speed of 40 km/h. The average speed of the car for this 80 km trip is:
A) 40 km/h
B) 45 km/h
C) 48 km/h
D) 53 km/h
E) 80 km/h
30’+60’ = 90’=5400s=1.5h
40km+40km=80km

2. The coordinate of an object is given as a function of time by x = 7t – 3t2, where x is in meters and t is in seconds. Its average velocity over the interval from t = 0 to t = 2 s is:
A) 5 m/s
B) –5 m/s
C) 11 m/s
D) –11 m/s
E) –14.5 m/s
vt= 7-6t = 7-12=-5 m/s
