Solution to Problem 1:
a)
distance 7 km + 2 km 9 km
average speed = = = = 3 km/h
time 2 hours + 1 hour 3 hours
b)
displacement 7 km + 2 km 9 km
average velocity = = = = 3 km/h
time 2 hours + 1 hour 3 hours
Solution to Problem 2:
a)
7 km + 2.5 9.5
average distance km km = 3.2 km/h (approximated to the
= =
speed = time 2 hours + 1 3 nearest tenth)
hour hours
b)
displacement 7 km - 2.5 km 4.5 km
average velocity = = = = 1.5 km/h
time 2 hours + 1 hour 3 hours
Problem 3: You start walking from a point on a circular field of radius 0.5
km and 1 hour later you are at the same point.
Solution to Problem 3:
a) If you walk around a circular field and come back to the same point, you
have covered a distance equal to the circumference of the circle.
2 * 0.5
average distance circumference = Pi km/h = 3.14 km/h
= = * Pi
speed = time time (approximated)
1 hour
b) If you walk around a circular field and come back to the same point
where you started the displacement, which a change in position, is equal
to zero. Since the displacement is equal to zero, the average velocity is
also equal to zero.
Problem 4: John drove South 120 km at 60 km/h and then East 150 km at
50 km/h. Determine
Solution to Problem 4:
a)
The time t1 to cover 120 km at a speed of 60 km/h is given by
t1 = 120 / 60 = 2 hours
t2 = 150 / 50 = 3 hours
using the rate of conversion 0.62 miles per km, the distance in miles is
given by
a)What is the average speed of the train for the whole journey?
Solution to Problem 6:
t1 = d / 60
t2 = 2d / 80
d + 2d 3d
average distance 3d 3d*4800 = 72
= d/60 + = (80d + = =
speed = time 200d/4800 200d mi/h
2d/80 2d*60)/(60*80)
Solution to Problem 7:
a)
distance 22 km + 12 km + 14 km
average speed = = = 96 km/h
time 0.5 hour
b) The displacement is the distance between the starting point and the
final point and is the hypotenuse DA of the right triangle DAE and is
calculated using Pythagora's theorem as follows
AE = 22 - 14 = 8 km
DA = ?208 = 4?13 km
c)
displacement 4?13 km
average velocity = = = 28.8 km/h (approximated)
time 0.5 hour
Problem 8: A man walked from point A to F following the route in the grid
below in 3250 seconds. Determine
a) the average speed, in m/s, for the whole journey.
c) the magnitude of the average velocity, in m/s, for the whole journey.
Solution to Problem 8:
a)
3 km + 1 km + 1.5 km + 6.5 km 6500 m
average distance =2
= 0.5 km + 0.5 km = 3250 = 3250
speed = time m/s
3250 seconds seconds seconds
b) The magnitude of the displacement is the distance between the starting
point A and the final point F and is the hypotenuse AF of the right triangle
AFH and is calculated using Pythagora's theorem as follows
DA = ?25 = 5 km
c)
displacement 5 km 5000 m
average velocity = = = = 1.5 m/s (approximated)
time 3250 s 3250 s
