In Class Problems 1

The document contains three word problems involving speed, distance, and acceleration. The first problem asks about the average speed of a person biking and walking to a store 6 miles away. The second problem involves calculating the average speed of a person walking, running, stopping, and walking in the opposite direction. The third problem asks about the point where a ball's acceleration is smallest as it is thrown up into the air and reaches its maximum height.

Question
Michael is going to the store 6 miles away. He
rides his bike at 12 mph for the first half of the
trip, then walks at 4 mph for the remainder.
Michaels average speed for the trip to the store is
closest to:
1. 2 mph
2. 4 mph
3. 6 mph
4. 8 mph
5. 10 mph
6. 12 mph
7. 14 mph
8. Exactly halfway between two of the values
above
9. Impossible to determine

Wendy walks 10 m in one direction at


2 m/s, then runs 6 m in the same
direction at 6 m/s. Next, she stops for
4 seconds, and finally walks in the
opposite direction at 4 m/s for 6
seconds.

Wendys average speed is closest to:

3. 1 1
2ms
4. 2 m s
5. 2 1
2ms
6. 3 m s
7. 3 1
2ms
8. 4 m s
9. the negative of one of the choices above
10. impossible to determine
