Activity 3 Real-Life Situation

Imagine you are driving on the street to see your family that lives in Kansas City and a policeman stops you for speeding. You are sure youdid not exceed the speed but you have no way to prove it because your car is now stopped.

Assuming the speed was constant, use the following information to get your real speed and to prove to the police you are innocent.

X1=0 Km

X2= 300 Km

t1=0 h

t2= 4 h

Write your answers in the comment box. Make you sure you justify your answer. Write two other real-life situations where it is necessary to use average speed and average velocity equations.

Summary

The question requires justification. The final answer only has a value of 25%, and the justification has a value of 50%. the two real-life situations have a value of 25%

Grade Scale

This course uses the plus/minus grading system.

A = 93 to 100%

A- = 90 to 92%

B+ = 87 to 89%

B = 83 to 86%

B- = 80 to 82%

C+ = 77 to 79%

C = 70 to 76%

D = 60 to 69%

F = 59% and below
