    The document describes two physics problems involving velocity. The first problem involves calculating the velocity of a train moving between stations A, B, and C over a total distance of 1000 + 500 meters in 120 seconds. The velocity is calculated to be 12.5 m/s. The second problem involves using the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the resultant velocity of a plane moving at 50 mi/hr into a headwind of 12 mi/hr. Diagrams are provided to illustrate the problems.
