distance is equal to speed into time

so distance 1= 30×30/60(converting minutes to hrs) =15 km

distance 2=40×1=40km

total distance is 15+40=55km ans

average speed is total distance/total time=55/1.5 = 36.66 minutes

Hope this helps

Explanation:

ANSWER:-

(i) To find the Total Distance,

We need to remember the formula

speed =  \frac{distance}{time}

  • And also, maintain the SI units, detailed explanation below.

As we can see, we need to convert the units.

As of first case:-

If I take the final value in Kilometres, then I need to convert 30 minutes in hour.

30 \: minutes =  \frac{1}{2} hr

Now, calculating distance:-

distance = speed \times time

 =  \frac{30}{2}

Final distance as of first case is 15 Km.

Second case:-

Distance = 40×1 ( Units stable)

Distance = 40 km.

Total distance = 40+15

= 55 km/ hour.

(ii) To find the average speed:-

Av. \: Speed =  \frac{total \: Distance}{total \: Time}

Av.Speed =  \frac{55}{ \frac{3}{2} }

( 3/2 came after adding 1+1/2)

 =  \frac{55 \times 2}{3}

 =  \frac{110}{3}

Average speed = 36.6 km/ hour.(approx.)

Things to Remember:-

  • In general cases only:-
  • Always convert the units into SI units.
  • SI Unit of speed is m/s
  • SI unit of Distance is metre
  • SI unit of time is second.
  • Now as here majority was in Kilometre per hour, so I chose not to convert it rather keep it simple and converted only one unit above.
