Midterm practice problem

When it comes to these type of problems that ask you to find something, first you would need to understand what they're asking you and what the problem would look like. You can draw a motion map if that would help you. I chose not to just because I understand from the start what it is asking.
Secondly, you would need to list what you know. Easily I just look at the units stated in the problem and evaluate it to its proper term such as for example: meters is position x or displacement x. Seconds is time
Finally, I just mathematically solve what I'm being told to by the problem to solve. Keep in mind, the equations you picked have to have what you're looking for and what you already know.
For this case I chose the V average equation because it's asking me how fast something should go. But before plugging in the numbers and such I converted the time from minutes to seconds.
V average= 2,500m/180s= 13.8m/s
Remember NO naked numbers as been told by Professor Crenshaw.
