A bus initially at a bus stop accelerates continuously for a kilometer, taking a minute and a half. Upon closing in on the next stop, the driver then begins to hit the brakes until it reaches a full stop in 8 seconds. Find the total distance that the bus traveled and the velocity of the bus just before it begins decelerating.
While standing at the edge of the roof of a building, a man throws a stone upward with an initial speed of 6.61 m/s. The stone subsequently falls to the ground, which is 17.3 m below the point where the stone leaves his hand. At what speed does the stone impact the ground? Ignore air resistance and use ?=9.81 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. A) Impact speed: _________________________ m/s B) How much time is the stone in the air? elapsed time: ____________ s

NOTE: USE V, =initial velocity a = acceleration x= distance or displacement V= final velocity t= time 1. The driver of a car traveling at 60 miles /h applies the brakes and the car decelerates at a constant rate. What is the velocity (in mi/h ) of the car 0.8 mi farther along the road if the car reaches this point 1.5 min after the brakes were applied?
Please help find the average velocity. I keep getting 17.88 m/s, which is marked as correct when asked to find the average speed, but is 17.88 is marked as incorrect when asked to find the average velocity.
