Given: A person starts walking at a constant speed of 2.3 m/s in a straight line from point A to point B. At point B she turns around and walks back to point A at a speed of 1.1 m/s
To find: Average speed for entire trip
Explanation: Let distance between A and B be s.
When she goes from A to B,
Time taken = Distance travelled/ Speed
= s/ 2.3
When she goes from B to A,
Time taken= Distance travelled/ Speed
= s/1.1
Total distance travelled= s+s= 2s
Total time taken:
=
=
=
Average speed= Total distance/ Total time
= 2s / (3.4s/2.53)
= 1.48 m/s
Therefore, the average speed of the whole journey is 1.48 m/s.
