The difference between average speed and instantaneous speed was investigated by solving triathlon problems from the text. The determination of average speed by 2 triathletes, given the time for swimming, biking and running was calculated and the winner determined. The difference of average time and instant time was reviewed.The importance of direction in velocity was shown by the Blue Angel navy pilots doing trick flying without crashing into each other. Finding distance and speed from a map was worked so that both exact measurement and determination of speed and time could be learned.
