Example - A car moves the 1st half of the distaoce a
between two places at a speed of 40 kmhr
and the and half at 60kmh. What is the
average speed of the car?
Answers
Answer:
Car moves with 40 km/hr for half distance and 60km/hr with another half distance. We need to find out the average speed of the car.
First of all, we need to remember the definition of average speed : It's the ratio of total distance to the total time taken to cover that distance.
Calculation:
Cancelling the similar term :
So final answer is:
Average speed is 48 km/hr
.....

Example - A car moves the 1st half of the distaoce abetween two places at a speed of 40 kmhr and the and half at 60kmh.
What is the average speed of the car?
SOLUTION :
From the question, the following information can be obtained.....
- A car moves the 1st half of the distaoce a
- A car moves the 1st half of the distaoce abetween two places at a speed of 40 kmhr and the and half at 60kmh.
Let the total distance travelled by the car = 2 d
S = d / t
t = S / d
Average Velocity = Total distance travelled / Total time taken
=>2 d / { d / 40 } + { d / 60 } = 48 kmph.
Answer :
The average Velocity of the car is 48 kmph.
