A train covers half of its journey with a speed of 30m/per second and other half of journey with speed of 40m/ per second . Calculate average speed for entire journey |
Answer» GIVEN :▪ A train covers first half of the TOTAL distance at a speed of 30m/s and SECOND half of the total distance at a speed of 40m/s. To Find :▪ Average speed of train fot entire journey. Concept :☞ Average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance travelled to the total time taken. ☞ It is a scalar quantity. ☞ It has only magnitude. ☞ SI unit : m/s ✴ When particle covers first half of the total distance at a speed of V1 and final half of the total distance at a speed of V2, then average speed of particle is given by ❍ Vav = 2V1V2/(V1+V2) CALCULATION :→ Vav = 2V1V2/(V1+V2) → Vav = 2×30×40/(30+40) → Vav = 2400/70 → Vav = 34.28m/s |
