1. A football field is about
100 m long. If it takes a person 20 seconds to run its length, how fast (what
speed) were they running?
2. The pitcher’s mound in
baseball is 85 m from the plate. It takes 4 seconds for a pitch to reach the
plate. How fast is the pitch?
3. If you drive at 100 km/hr
for 240 min, how far will you go?
4. If you run at 12 m/s for 15
minutes, how far will you go? HINT: can you use minutes when your speed is in
seconds? Nope! Convert!
5. Every summer I drive to
Michigan. It is 3900 km to get there. If I average 100 km/hr, how much time
will I spend driving?
6. Every winter I fly home to
Michigan. It takes 5 hours. What is my average speed if I travel at 10 km/min?
7. The fastest train in the
world moves at 500 km/hr. How far will it go in 3 hours?
8. How long will it take light
moving at 300,000 km/s to reach us from the sun? The sun is 15,000,000 km from
earth.
9. It is 21,000 kilometers
around the earth and the earth rotates in 24 hrs. How fast is it rotating in days?
