Question

A car covers a distance of 260 km between two cities in 5 hr. What is the average speed of the car?

Answer 1

Answer:

d/t = 260/5 = 52 km /hr is the correct answer

Answer 2

Average speed - Motion

If a car has a average speed along the course of the journey, its motion can be understood by calculating average speed. average speed by the car can be calculated by using the following formula,

Average speed is described as the ratio of total distance and total time taken to cover the distance. Mathematically,

$\boxed{ \textbf{Average Speed} = \dfrac{\textbf{Total Distance}}{\textbf{Total Time}}}$

In the question, we've been given that, a car covers a distance of 260 km between two cities in time 5 hr. With this information, we've been asked to find out the average speed of the car.

By substituting all the available values in the above formula, we get:

$\implies \text{Average Speed} = \cancel{\dfrac{ \text{260}}{ \text{5}}} \\\\ \implies \boxed{\textbf{Average Speed = 52}}$

Hence, average speed of the car is 52 km/h.
