a car travels 30km at a uniform speed of 40km/hr and the next 30km at a uniform speed of 20km/hr. find its overage speed. with full explanation? |
Answer» Given :▪ A car TRAVELS first 30km at a speed of 40kmph and last 30kmph at a speed of 20kmph. To FIND :▪ Average speed of car during the whole journey. Concept :☞ Average speed is defined as the ratio of total distanve travelled to the total time taken. ☞ It is a SCALAR quantity. ☞ It has only magnitude. ☞ It can't be NEGATIVE or zero. ☞ SI unit : m/s Calculation :→ VAV = (d1+d2)/(t1+t2) → Vav = (d1+d2)/[(d1/V1)+(d2/V2)] → Vav = (30+30)/[(30/40)+(30/20)] → Vav = 2×40×20/(40+20) → Vav = 1600/60 → Vav = 26.67kmph |
