A car travels from city A to city B separated by 282 km and the journey takes approximately 6 hours and 32 minutes. If they come back in 8 hours. What is your average speed throughout the journey? What is its average speed?

38.8 km/hr

Explanation:

The total distance is 2 × 282 km = 564 km.

The total time is 6 hr 32 min + 8 hr = 14 hr 32 min = 14.533 hr.

The average speed is:

(564 km) / (14.533 hr)

38.8 km/hr

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s

given:

acceleration = 0.6

time = 4.5 s

to find:

velocity = ?

formula used:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

solution:

from 1st kinematic equation we get,

v = u + at

u = initial speed of train = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the train

a = acceleration of the train

t = time

v = 0 + (0.6 × 4.5)

v = 2.7 m/s

the minimum constant speed at which she can catch the train is 2.7 m/s
