Given:-
- Initial reading = 1000km
- Final Reading = 1500km
- Time taken ,t = 5h
To Find:-
- Average speed of the car in km/h.
Solution:-
Firstly we calculate the distance covered by car in 5 hours .
Distance covered by car = Final reading - Initial reading
→ d = 1500-1000
→ d = 500km
the distance covered by the car is 500km.
Average speed is definedas the total distance covered divided total time taken.
→ Av.Speed = Total Distance/Total time taken
→ Av. S = d/t
Substitute the value we get
→ Av.S = 500/5
→ Av.S = 100km/h
Therefore, the average speed of the car is 100km/h.
