A ball rolled 12.0 m [E] in 10.0 s, hit an obstacle, and rolled straight back. After the collision, the ball rolled 8.00 m [W] in 6.00 s. What was the average velocity of the ball?

Working alone at its constant rate, pump x pumped out ¼ of the water in a tank in 2 hours. then pumps y and z started working and the three pumps, working simultaneously at their respective constant rates, pumped out the rest of the water in 3 hours. if pump y, working alone at its constant rate, would have taken 18 hours to pump out the rest of the water, how many hours would it have taken pump z, working alone at its constant rate, to pump out all of the water that was pumped out of the tank? a) 6b) 12c) 15d) 18e) 24
