It's not possible to answer the question exactly the way it's written.
That's because we don't know anything about the direction they
drive at any time during the trip. 

You see, "velocity" is not just a word that you use for 'speed' when
you want to sound smart and technical, like this question is doing. 
"Velocity" is a quantity that's made up of speed AND THE DIRECTION
of the motion.  If you don't know the direction of the motion, then you
CAN'T tell the velocity, only the speed.

Here are the average speeds that Lori's family drove on each leg
of their trip:

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

Leg-A:  
Speed = 15km/10min = 1.5 km/min

Leg-B:  
Speed = 20km/15min = (1 and 1/3) km/min

Leg-C  
Speed = 24km/12min = 2 km/min

Leg-D:  
Speed = 36km/9min = 4 km/min

Leg-E: 
Speed = 14km/14min = 1 km/min

From lowest speed to highest speed, they line up like this:

[Leg-E] ==> [Leg-B] ==> [Leg-A] ==> [Leg-C] ==> [Leg-D]
  1.0 . . . . . . . . 1.3 . . . . . . . 1.5 . . . . . . . 2.0 . . . . . . . 4.0 . . . . km/minute   

Whoever drove Leg-D should have been roundly chastised
and then abandoned by the rest of the family.  36 km in 9 minutes
(4 km per minute) is just about 149 miles per hour !

A boy standing on a bridge above a river throws stone A vertically upward with an initial velocity =15m/s.2 seconds later he dro
Anastaziya [24]

I'm not sure if this is correct but it's what I'll do

This is free-fall problem.
Stone A is thrown upward, at the point it falls down to the place where it was thrown, the velocity is -15m/s.

Now I choose the bridge is the origin. From the bridge, stone A and B fall the same distance which means Ya = Yb ( vertical distance )

Ya = Vo(t + 2) + 1/2a(t+2)^2
= -15(t + 2) + 1/2(9.8)(t^2 + 4t + 4)
= -15t - 30 + 4.5(t^2 + 4t + 4)
= -15t - 30 + 4.5t^2 + 18t + 18
= 4.5t^2 +3t - 12

Yb = Vo(t) + 1/2a(t)^2
= 0 + 4.5t^2

4.5t^2 = 4.5t^2 +3t - 12
0 = 3t - 12
4 = t

Time for Stone B is 4s
Time for Stone A is 6s
