SPEED
1. Nascar driver, Jeff Gordon, has a car that is one of the fastest on the circuit. If it travels 600 miles in 4 hours, what is his cruising speed (in miles/hour)?
2. The fastest car on Earth, a German-made Thrust SSC, would win every Nascar race in America. If it takes 0.5 hours (30 minutes) to travel 380 miles, what is its speed (in miles/hour)?
3. The fastest train on Earth, the TGV from France, can travel at faster speeds than trains in the United States. During a speed test, it clocked in with an average speed of 320 miles/hour. If it traveled 800 miles during the test, how long (in hours) did it take to complete its course?
4. Spirit of Australia, a hydroplane boat, made speed records by traveling at 318.7 miles / hr. If the test took 0.75 hours (45 minutes), how long was the course?
5. Ms. Joyce likes to swim in the pool. If he swims one length down the pool and then a half of a length back up in 25 seconds, what is his average speed?

6. Ms. Joyce likes to swim in the pool. If he swims one length down the pool and then a half of a length back up in 25 seconds, what is his average velocity?
7. Todd drives to work – 55 miles one way in 1.4 hours and then drives home in 2 hours - what is his velocity?
8. Mr. Walker likes to ride camels. Today he rode for 1.2 hours after work until he realized that he was lost in the desert. If he rode 3m north and 4 meters east, what was his displacement (*hint*
a2 + b2 = c2)? What was his average velocity?
9. Explain the difference between distance and displacement.
10. Explain the difference between speed and velocity.
