5. (a) Denoting the travel time and distance from San Antonio to Houston as T and D, respectively, the
average speed is
savg 1 =
D
T
=
(55 km/h)T
2 + (90 km/h)T
2
T
= 72.5 km/h
which should be rounded to 73 km/h.
(b) Using the fact that time = distance/speed while the speed is constant, we find
savg 2 =
D
T
=
D
D/2
55 km/h + D/2
90 km/h
= 68.3 km/h
which should be rounded to 68 km/h.
(c) The total distance traveled (2D) must not be confused with the net displacement (zero). We obtain
for the two-way trip
savg =
2D
D
72.5 km/h + D
68.3 km/h
= 70 km/h .
(d) Since the net displacement vanishes, the average velocity for the trip in its entirety is zero.
(e) In asking for a sketch, the problem is allowing the student to arbitrarily set the distance D (the intent
is not to make the student go to an Atlas to look it up); the student can just as easily arbitrarily
set T instead of D, as will be clear in the following discussion. In the interest of saving space, we
briefly describe the graph (with kilometers-per-hour understood for the slopes): two contiguous line
segments, the first having a slope of 55 and connecting the origin to (t1, x1) = (T/2, 55T/2) and
the second having a slope of 90 and connecting (t1, x1) to (T, D) where D = (55 + 90)T/2. The
average velocity, from the graphical point of view, is the slope of a line drawn from the origin to
(T, D).
