Answer 1

Dear Bhoomi,

◆ Answer -

Average speed = 30 m/s

◆ Explanation -

Total distance travelled by the car -

Total distance = 360 + 360 + 120

Total distance = 840 m

Total time travelled is given hy -

Total time = 12 + 16

Total time = 28 s

Average speed of the car is calculated by -

Average speed = Distance / Time

Average speed = 840 / 28

Average speed = 30 m/s

Therefore, average speed of the car is 30 m/s.

Hope you understand..
