Question
A car travels 30 km at a uniform speed of 60 km/h and the next 30 km at a uniform speed of 20 km/h. What is its average speed?
Solution
Car travls 30 km distance with speed 60 km/hr
Time taken by car to travel this distance = 30/60 = 0.5 hr.
Car travels another distance of 30 km with speed of 20 km/hr.
Time taken by car to travel this distance = 30/20 = 1.5 hr.
Total time taken = 1.5 + 0.5 = 2 hr.
Total distance = 30+ 30 = 60 km.
Average speed of car = 60/2 = 30 km/hr.
