The total distance treaveled by a car moving in a straight line is as follows: After the first 7.0 minutes it has gone a total of 2.0 miles. After 14.0 minutes it has traveled a total of 4.5 miles. Finally at 21.0 minutes it has traveled a total of 6.0 miles. Find the average speed at: Time

Respuesta :

Answer:

Average speed of the car will be 27.582 km/hr

Explanation:

We have given that in first 5 minutes distance traveled by car is 2 miles

After 14 minutes it has travel 4.5 miles

And finally after 21 minutes distance traveled by car is 6 miles

So total time of traveling t = 21 minutes

As we know that 1 hour = 60 minutes

So 21 minutes [tex]=\frac{21}{60}=0.35hour[/tex]

Total distance traveled = 6 miles

As 1 miles = 1.609 km

So 6 miles [tex]=6\times 1.609=9.654km[/tex]

Average speed is equal to the ratio of total distance and total time

So average speed [tex]v=\frac{9.654}{0.35}=27.582km/hr[/tex]
