Step 3: Make a table of your data
Step 4: Plug numbers into the equation and solve
Step 5: Check that units have been used throughout
Step 6: Draw a box around the answer.
1. A bicycle rider travels 22 Km in 3.25 hours. What is the average speed of the rider?
2. A high school student runs 100 meters in 12.20 seconds. What is his average speed?
3. Calculate the average speed (in m/sec) of a cheetah that runs 140 meters in 5 seco
4. A high-speed train travels from Paris to Lyon at an average speed of 227 Km/hour. The
trip takes 2.0 hours. What is the distance between the two cities?
5. Light from the sun reaches Earth in 8.3 minutes. The speed of light is 3.00 x 10
second. How far in kilometers is Earth from the sun?
6. The speedometer of a car moving northward reads 60 km/h. It passes another car that
travels southward at 60 km/h. Do both cars have the same speed? Do they have the same
velocity? Draw a diagram to il
7. A car is driven 80 Km west in 1.0 hour and then 70 Km
average speed of the car in Km / hour? What is the average velocity of the car in Km/hr?
Draw a diagram to illustrate your reasoning
8. A cross country runner runs 50 Km east along the course, then turns around and runs 5.0
km west along the same path. She returns to the starting point in 40 minutes. What is her
average speed? Her average velocity ?
