Some velocity problems to get you ready for Friday's quiz....

1) A single-engine plane leaves an airport and flies to another airport 850 km north. It takes 4.0 h to complete the flight. What is the average velocity of the airplane?

2) A truck travels from Toronto due west to London, a distance of 210 km. The total time for the trip is two hours and fifteen minutes. What is the average velocity of the truck?

3) A car travels from Winnipeg east toward Thunder Bay. If the car travels at an average velocity of 90 km/h[E], what will be the displacement of the car 4.5 h later?

4) How many seconds will it take a speedboat travelling at 70.0 km/h[S] to cover a distance of 5.0 km.
