The physics 500 is an experiment designed to introduce the ideas of
average speed.   The basic idea is to have students move in
variousways ( run, walk, hop, skip, crawl, etc) ver a given distance
and calculate the average velocity.  The second part asks the student
to measure an unknown distance using the previously determined average
velocity.  The questions ask for the definition of average speed,
difference between average speed and maximum speed, and a conversion
between mph and m/s.  Hope this helps
