Calculations:
A bicyclist takes a circular mountain biking trail that is 9 miles (14.5 km) from start to finish. It takes him an hour and a half. 1) What is his average speed, in miles per hour? 2) What is it in meters per second? 3) What is his displacement?
For her jog, Katie runs from her house, east 5 blocks, south 3 blocks, west 5 blocks, and north 4 blocks before walking back home. Regarding her jog only: Her total time it takes her 35 minutes. 4) How much distance does she cover in this time? 5) If a city block is about 0.5 miles (0.8 km), what is her average speed in miles/hr? 6) What is it in meters/second? 7) What is her displacement in blocks? 8) What is it in miles? 9) What is her velocity in mi/h and m/s?
