A car travels half the distance with constant velocity


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 282 People


A car travels half of the distance with constant velocity 40km/h and another half with a constant velocity of 60km/h along a straight line. Find the average velocity of the car???

Answered by admin @



Let x be the distance travelled by the car..x/2 be half the distance
now time t taken by the car with a velocity 40km/hr is x/80hr (time=distance/speed)
time t taken by the car with a velocity 60km/hr is x/120 hr. 
now avg velocity= x/2+x/2

                           x/80+x/120

                          = x*9600

                                200x

                           = 48km/hr
