A person drove to the school from her home and noted that the odometer reading of her vehicle increased by 13.4 km. The trip took 27.6 min. If the person drove back home using the same path that the person took out to the university and arrives 7.6 h after she first left home, what was her average speed for the entire trip, in kilometers per hour?

The "reaction time" of the average automobile driver is about 0.70 s. (The reaction time is the interval between the perception of a signal to stop and the application of the brakes.) An automobile can slow down with an acceleration of 10.6 ft/s2. 1) Compute the total distance covered in coming to a stop after a signal is observed from an initial velocity of 15.8 mi/hmi/h (in a school zone). Express your answer in feet. 2) Compute the total distance covered in coming to a stop after a signal is observed from an initial velocity of 57.4 mi/hmi/h. Express your answer in feet.

You are driving home from school steadily at 97 km/hkm/h for 160 kmkm. It then begins to rain and you slow to 61 km/hkm/h instantly. You arrive home after driving 4.5 hours. How far is your hometown from school? answer using two significant figures.
An object is dropped from rest and takes 2.94 seconds to reach the ground below. From what distance above the ground was it dropped? State this as a positive number and assume it has proper SI Units.
Averages follow the same rule. Suppose a car travels around a track three times. Your measurements for the three trials are 45.0 km/h, 48.21 km/h, and 47.024 km/h. Determine the average speed of the car. 45.0 + 48.21 + 47.024 = 140.234 140.234 + 3 = 46.744 66 Because the least precise measurement is 45.0 km/h, the answer can be precise only to the nearest one-tenth. Thus the correct answer, rounded off, is 46.7 km/h. Answer the following questions. 15.

Keiko drove to the mountains last weekend. There was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 7 hours. When Keiko drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 5 hours. If her average rate was 18 miles per hour faster on the trip home, how far away does Keiko live from the mountains? Do not do any rounding.
