1
An auto travels at the rate of 25 km/h for 4.0 minutes, then at 50 km/h for 8.0 minutes, and finally at 20 km/h for 2.0 minutes. Find (a) the total distance covered in km and (b) the average speed for the complete trip in m/s.
A)(a) 540 km, (b) 642 m/s
B)(a) 12.5 km, (b) 38.6 m/s
C)(a) 10.7 km, (b) 126 m/s
D)(a) 9.0 km, (b) 10.7 m/s
2
A runner travels 1.5 laps around a circular track in a time of 50 s. The diameter of the track is 40 m and its circumference is 126 m.
