9K speeding up

Revision

Two cyclist leave a city at the same time, one going

East and the other going west. The Westbound
cyclist bikes at 3km/h faster than the Eastbound
cyclist. If after 6 hours they are 162km apart, how
fast is each cyclist riding?

Bus788 takes 25 minutes to get from Central to Chai Wan.
Assume the bus travels with constant speed, can you calculate
its speed?

Length of path on map 19.67 cm

1 cm on map = 600 m
Exercise 1: Page 3

A man walks from A to B at a speed of

1km/h and returns along the same road at
. If the distance of the road AB is 1km,
what is the average speed for the whole
trip?
 
Another example

A bus travels 2 km to the North in 2

minutes, then it turns East and travels
uniformly for 5 km in 4 minutes, then it
stops for 30 s at a bus stop, and finally it
travels to the South for 2 km in 2
minutes.
 
(a)What are the distance travelled by the
bus?
(b)What are the average speed of the
whole trip?
(c)What is the instantaneous speed of the
bus when it is travelling to the East?

If the speedometer reads 25 km at the beginning of the
trip and a half hour later it reads 60 km, what is the
average speed?

Would it be possible to attain this average speed and

never exceed a reading of 70 km/h on the
speedometer?
