Answer 2

SOLUTION:—

GIVEN:—

→ A cyclist moving on a straight road covers a. distance 6km with speed 4m/s and 4km with speed 2.5m/s

TO DETERMINE

→ The average speed of cyclist

EVALUATION:—

Here it is given that a cyclist moving on a straight road covers a. distance 6km with speed 4m/s and 4km with speed 2.5m/s

For distance of 6 km:—

Speed = 4 m/s

Distance covered = 6 km = 6000 m

Time taken

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{6000}{4} \: \: sec}$

$\displaystyle \sf{ =1500 \: \: sec}$

For distance of 4 km:—

Speed = 2.5 m/s

Distance covered = 4 km = 4000 m

Time taken:—

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{4000}{2.5} \: \: sec}$

$\displaystyle \sf{ = 1600 \: \: sec}$

Calculation of average speed:—

Total distance covered

= 6 km + 4 km

= ( 6000 + 4000 ) m

= 10000 m

Total time taken:—

= ( 1500 + 1600 ) sec

= 3100 sec

Hence the required average speed

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{Total \: distance \: covered }{Total \: time \: taken } \: \: }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{10000 }{3100 } \: \: } \: \: m/s$

$\displaystyle \sf{ = 3.23 } \: \: m/s \: \: (approx)$
