A football quarterback runs 15.0 m straight forward 2.50 s. He is then hit and pushed 3.00 m straight backward in 1.75 s. He breaks the tackle and runs straight forward another 21.0 m in 5.20 s.

Draw a diagram showing the motion of the quarterback.

If you divide the total distance traveled on a car trip (as determined by the odometer) by the time for the trip, (a) are you calculating the average speed or the magnitude of the average velocity? (b) Under what circumstances are these two quantities the same?
