Solution
The document you uploaded contains a physics assignment on "Speed, Velocity, and Graphs" from a high school course. It includes several questions related to kinematics and the interpretation of graphs, including calculations of speed, velocity, distance, and acceleration. Here is a brief overview of the problems:
- Formula manipulation: Solve for desired variables using provided kinematic equations.
- Unit conversions: Convert given quantities to specified units.
- Distance calculation: Find the distance traveled by a car moving at a uniform speed.
- Race problem: Calculate the speed needed to achieve an average velocity.
- Baseball player problem: Determine Paul's average speed and velocity between bases on a right-angled path.
- Collision problem: Calculate the point where a truck and car meet while traveling towards each other at different speeds.
- Displacement vs. Time graph: Analyze a graph to determine total distance, velocity, acceleration, and other parameters.
- Velocity vs. Time graph: Analyze a graph to find acceleration, displacement, and average velocity.
If you'd like, I can go over the solutions to any of these questions in detail. Let me know which specific ones you need help with!
Here are 5 related questions for you:
- How do you derive an average velocity from a displacement-time graph?
- What is the formula for converting velocity in miles per hour to meters per second?
- How does average speed differ from instantaneous speed in motion analysis?
- What role does acceleration play in interpreting velocity-time graphs?
- How do you calculate total displacement when the velocity varies over time?
Tip: When solving physics problems involving graphs, always check the units on both axes carefully, as this impacts how you interpret slopes and areas under the curve.

Formulas
v = d/t (velocity = distance/time)
a = Δv/Δt (acceleration = change in velocity/time)
s = vt (displacement = velocity × time)
conversion: 1 mile = 1.61 km
