Problem 2.01. A student drove to the university from her home and noted that the odome- ter reading of her car increased by 12.0 km. The trip took 18.0 min. (a) What was her average speed? (b) If the straight-line distance from her home to the university is 10.3 km in a di- rection 25.0° 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?

A student drove to campus from her home and noted that the odometer reading of her car increased by 12 km. The trip took 18 minutes. If the straight line distance from her home to the university is 10.3 km in a direction 25 degrees south of east, what was the magnitude of her average velocity in km/hr?
A student drove to the university from their home and noted that the odometer reading of their car increased by 14.0 km. The straight-line distance (that is, the magnitude of displacement) between the student's home and the university is 10.0 km. This trip took 30.0 min. The student then returned home by the same path 7.00 hours after they left home. Whch of the following statement is correct? The average speed of the student during this whole day is 20.0 km/hour. The average speed of the student during this whole day is 28.0 km/hour. The average speed of the student during this whole day is 2.00 km/hour. The average speed of the student during this whole day is 0 km/hour.
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.)
What is your average speed of you drive from Houston to Dallas on I-45? The whole trip is 3.5 hours and your odometer registered 293 miles.
Please answer the following question(s): 1. The speed of a boat in still water is vá. A river flows with a speed of v₁. The boat travels distance of 19 miles downstream in a river in 1 hour. However, the return journey takes 2 hours. Calculate the vand v₁. Hint: Velocity=displacement/time. Displacement can be positive of neagtive depending on the direction. You will first need to set up the equations by taking into account the resultant velocity of the boat in flowing water. Consider the direction the river is flowing to be positive. Set up two equations, one for the downstream journey and one for the upstream journey, in terms of "v" and "v": Do v" and "v, add or substract downstream to give the resultant downstream velocity? Do v" and "v, add or substract upstream togive the resultant upstream velocity? Use the upstream direction as negative. The resultant upstream velocity should be negative. vb vb Downstream positive Vr Upstream negative Vr
