On your wedding day you leave for the church 30.0 minutes before the ceremony is to begin, which should be plenty of time since the church is only 10.0 miles away. On the way, however, you have to make an unanticipated stop for construction work on the road. As a result, your average speed for the first 15 minutes is only 5.0 mi/h. What average speed do you need for the rest of the trip to get you to the church on time?

Hi, I am doing problem number 2 from the end of the chapter questions in my textbook. The problem reads as such: "An 18-year-old runner can complete a 10.0-km course with an average speed of 4.39 m/s. A 50-year-old runner can cover the same distance with an average speed of 4.27 m/s. How much later (in seconds) should the younger runner start in order to finish the course at the same time as the older runner?" I am looking at the solution for the problem and I did everything right except the last step. The solution says to subtract the time found for the 18 year old to run 10km from the time found for the 50 year old to run 10km. However, I divided the anwers I found. Why are we subtracting the answers from one another and not dividing them? Thank you!
You and your family are going on a road trip to visit your recently married cousin in B.C. The total round trip distance is 2100 km. On the way to B.C., you encounter no setbacks and you are able to drive on average at a constant speed. On the way home from B.C., you encounter a snowstorm and your mom has to slow down to avoid getting into an accident. Thus, your average speed decreases by 10 km/h. If the total driving time was 42 hours, what was your average speed on the way to B.C.? Recall distance = speed x time.

I am having trouble with an average speed problem. The problem states that a person walks at 4.5 meters per second from point a to b. Then walks back from point b to a at a speed of 3.2 m/s. I know that average speed is displacement/time. However I am not sure how to calculate time or displacement from the two givens. The problem also gives that the average velocity is 0.
