    A car moves with a speed of 30 km/h for half an hour, 25 km/h for one hour and 40 km/h for two hours. Calculate average speed of the car.

    Answer:

                    Time taken to travel, \[{{t}_{1}}=0.5h,\] \[{{t}_{1}}=1h,{{t}_{3}}=2h\] \[t={{t}_{1}}+{{t}_{2}}+{{t}_{3}}\] \[=0.5+1+2=3.5h\]                               Speeds,\[{{\upsilon }_{1}}=30\text{km/}h,{{\upsilon }_{2}}=25\,\text{km}/h,{{\upsilon }_{3}}=40\text{km/h}\] Distances, \[{{s}_{1}}={{\upsilon }_{1}}\times {{t}_{1}}=30\times 0.5=15\,km\] \[{{s}_{2}}={{\upsilon }_{2}}{{t}_{2}}=25\times 1=25\,km\] \[{{s}_{3}}={{\upsilon }_{3}}{{t}_{3}}=40\times 2=80\,km\] \[s={{s}_{1}}+{{s}_{2}}+{{s}_{3}}\] \[=15+25+80=120\,\text{km}\] Average speed\[\text{=}\frac{\text{Total}\,\text{distnace}}{\text{Total}\,\text{time}}\] \[\text{=}\frac{\text{s}}{\text{t}}=\frac{120}{3.5}=34.3\,\text{km/h}\]
