0.40 seconds, if he traveled 1,500m. then what is his average speed in mi/hr?
2. Mario lets his bike roll down a hill beginning from rest and accelerating uniformly. If he
rolls 125 m in 25 s, then what was his average of acceleration in ft/min?
3. a tug of war was being played by 2 groups, on the left were 8 girls applying a force of
45N, on the right were 4 boys applying a force of 50N, Jenny decided to join the girls
group and increase their total force applied by 6N, John joined the right group and
increased their force by 10N, the rope is 10ft long. Who would win the game?
