- A woman drives a car from one city to another with different constant speeds along the trip. She drives at a speed of 75.0 km/h for 20.0 min; 70.0 km/h for 25.0 min; makes a stop for 55.0 min, then continues at 40 km/h for 35.0 min, at which point she reaches her destination. What is the total distance between her starting point and destination (in km)? kmarrow_forwardJohn goes for a run. From his house, he jogs north for exactly 5.0 min at an average speed of 8.0 km/h. He continues north at a speed of 12.0 km/h for the next 30.0 min. He then turns around and jogs south at a speed of 15.0 km/h for 15.0 min. Then he jogs south for another 20.0 min at 8.0 km/h. He walks the rest of the way home.arrow_forwardA car slows from 48.4 kph to 34.9 kph to get off the highway in a span of 8.5 seconds.
