Question

A car travels tomorrow a to b with a speed of 30 km per h and then return to a with a speed of 50 km per h find
Distance, displacement, average speed

Answer 1

Total average speed is simply = Total distance/Total time 
Lets say, 
D = distance travelled by the car in EACH direction 
t1 = time spent on onward trip 
t2 = time spent on return trip 
Thus, the total distance travelled by the car = D+D= 2D 
And, by the formula, Speed = Distance/Time 
S1 = D/t1 => t1 = D/S1 
S2 = D/t2 => t2 = D/S2 
Total average speed = Total Distance/Total time = 2D/(t1+t2) = 2D/(D/S1+D/S2) = 2S1*S2/(S1+S2) 

Remember this general formula for a total average speed problems: 
Total average speed = 2S1*S2/(S1+S2) 

Answer 2

Displacement = 0

As Car returned to its original point where it starts from.

Average speed = 30 + 50

= 80Km/H
