A driver of a car traveling at 52 km h¹ applies the brakes and accelerates uniformly in the opposite direction. The car stops in 5 s. Another driver going at 3 km h¨¹ in another car applies his brakes slowly and stops in 10 s. On the same graph paper, plot the speed versus time graphs for the two cars. Which of the two cars traveled farther after the brakes were applied?

Gaby and her cousin, Fiona, live 45 km apart. Every day, they drive by one another to get to work. Gaby leaves home at 7:00 a.m. and drives at the road speed of 60 km/h. Fiona, however, always leaves home 20 min later and therefore speeds by 10 km/h. Approximately what time will Gaby meet Fiona on the road?
Thanks for the help :)

A car is driven at 23 kph for 12min, then 40 kph for 20 min, and finally at 50kph for 8min.Determine the: 1:Average speed over the interval, 2:How fast must the car move in the last 8 min of the travel to obtain an average speed of 55kph?
A runner with a good awareness of her pace runs along a path of unknown length at a speed of 0.1250.125 mi/min and then walks back to her starting point at a speed of 0.04500.0450 mi/min. She neglects to note her time for each part of her path but does measure the total round-trip time to be 50.050.0 min. How far did she run? (Do not include walking distance.)
