Help please? A high-speed train in Japan travels a distance of 300. kilometers due west to final station and then goes east for 100 kilometres. If the total time of travel is 1.75 hours.

Question

What is the average speed of this train? 2. What is the average velocity of the train? Help I'm stuck!! :(

Answer 1

total distance = 300+100 = 400km per 1.75 hours

400/1.75 = about 202.9 km/hr

the velocity speed distinction is to make 101.5 km/hr as the average comparing origin to final displacement.
