Problem

A passenger train leaves station A at 06:00 h and reaches station B at 09:20 h after covering 220 km220\,\text{km} on a straight track. Later the same day, the train makes the return trip from B to A, covering the same 220 km220\,\text{km} in 3 h 40 min3\,\text{h}\,40\,\text{min}. (a) Find the average speed of the train on the journey from A to B in km / h\text{km}\,/\,\text{h}. (b) Express this speed in m / s\text{m}\,/\,\text{s}. (c) Calculate the average speed on the return journey from B to A in km / h\text{km}\,/\,\text{h}. (d) Determine the overall average speed of the train for the complete round trip.
