Distance between Sanna's and Sneha's house is 9km. Sanna has to attend Sneha's birthday party at 7 o'clock. She started from her home at 6 o'clock on her bicycle and covered a distance of 6km in 40 mins. At the point she meet Micky and spoke to her for 5 mins and reached Sneha's birthday party at 7 o'clock. With what speed did she cover the second part of the journey ? Calculate his average speed for the entire journey.

Given:
Distance between Sanna's and Sneha's house is 9km. Sanna has to attend Sneha's birthday party at 7 o'clock. She started from her home at 6 o'clock on her bicycle and covered a distance of 6km in 40 mins. At the point she meet Micky and spoke to her for 5 mins and reached Sneha's birthday party at 7 o'clock.
To find:
With what speed did she cover the second part of the journey? Calculate his average speed for the entire journey.
Concept:
If a person has a average speed along the course of the journey, its motion can be understood by calculating average speed. Average speed by the person can be calculated by using the following formula:
This implies "Average speed is the ratio of total distance and total time taken to cover the distance."
Calculations:
Distance left to reach Sneha's house = 9km - 6km = 3km
And, Time left to reach Sneha's house = 16 min - (4 + 5) = 15 minutes
• Distance left = 3km
• Time left = 15 mins
The speed with which Sanna covered the second part of the journey:
Thus, the speed with which Sanna covered the second part of the journey is 0.2km/h.
We know that,
• Total distance = 9km
• Total time = 1 hour
By substituting the given values in the formula, we get the following results:
Hence, the average speed of the entire journey is 9km/h.
Extra Information:
Average velocity is the displacement of an object over time. It is calculated by using the following formula:
This implies "Average velocity the change in position or displacement (Δx) divided by the change in time or time intervals (Δt)."
- Distance = 9 km
- Started her Journey = 6 O'clock
- Has to Reach = 7 O'clock
- Distance Covered by Cycle = 6 km
- Time Taken by Cycle = 40 mins
- Talked to Micky = 5 mins
- Speed of Second Part
- Average Speed
☆ Formula Used :
☆ Examining the Second Part :
- Distance Left = 9 km - 6 km = 3 km
- Time Left = 60 min - (40 + 5) min = 15 min
☆ Calculating the Speed :
☆ Calculating the Average Speed :
Sanna travelled the 2nd Part with the Speed of 0.2 km/h and the Average Speed of her Journey is 9 km/h .
