Answer:9.18 m/s
Explanation:
The average speed for the entire trip is found ......total distance/total time. Remember r*t=d, so divide both sides by t and get r = d/t.
So the cyclist went 800+500+1200 m = 2500 m for total distance.
10t =800 leads to t=80 sec
5t=500 leads to t=100 sec
13t = 1200 leads to t = 92.3 sec
total time is 272.3 sec
Average speed for the entire trip is 2500 / 272.3 = 9.18 m/s
