A car covers the first half of the distance between two places at a speed of `40 kmh^(-1)` and second half at `60 kmh^(-1)` Calculate the average speed of the car. |
Answer» Given, speed in first half, `v_(1)=40 kmh^(-1)`. Speed in second half, `v_(2) = 60 kmh^(-1)`. `because` Car covers equal distance with different speeds. `therefore` Average speed of car `v_(av)=(2v_(1)v_(2))/(v_(1)+v_(2))` `v_(av)=(2(40) (60))/(40+60)=48 kmh^(-1)` |
