Question

Example 8.1 An object travels 16 m in 4 s
and then another 16 m in 2 s. What is
the average speed of the object?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Total distance = 16m + 16m = 32m

Total time = 4s + 2s = 6s

Average speed = Total distance / Total time

                      = 32/6

                      = 5.33 m/s

I hope this was helpful : )

Answer 2

Explanation:

average speed is the total distance travelled in total time

speed(av)= Total Distance

Total Time

total distance = 16+16 =32m

Total time = 2+4= 6 seconds

av speed = 32/6 = 5.3333m/s
