A car travels between city A and city B, a distance of 45miles at an average speed of 50 mph. on the return journey the average speed is 40 mph. Calculate the average speed for the total journey of city A to city B to city A.
A motorist on a road trip drives a car at different constant speeds over several legs of the trip. He drives for 55.0 min at 65.0 km/h, 13.0 min at 90.0 km/h, and 40.0 min at 30.0 km/h and spends
55.0 min eating lunch and buying gas.

km
(b) What is the average speed for the entire trip (in km/h)?
km/h
The velocity of a particle moving along the x-axis is defined by V= kx3 – 4x2 +6x, where V is in m/sec., x is in meters, and k is a constant. If K=1 Compute the value of the acceleration after x= 2 meters.
