I'm taking physics and I've got the basic speed and velocity equations down, but I'm stuck on two. This ISN'T my homework, so please don't say "do your own homework." I've got a test on Tuesday and I can't figure out how to do these. If you can, could you please explain to me how to get these answers?

1. Pierre LaPlante slaps a hockey puck into the goal at a speed of 34.8 m/s from a distance of 20.0 meters. How much time did the goalie have to react to the shot?

ANSWER:0.57 s

2. A train from Buffalo to Albany averages 115 kilometers per hour. If the trip takes four hours to complete, how far apart are the two cities?

ANSWER:460 km

  1. 1. t = v / d = 34.8 m/s / 20.0 m = 0.575 s

    2. d = v*t = 115 km/hr x 4.00 hr = 460 km
