Question #120740

A car covers first half of the distance between two places at a speed of 80km/hr and

the second half at 60km/hr. What is the average speed of the car?

Expert's answer

vavr=S/2+S/2t1+t2=S/2+S/2S/(2v1)+S/(2v2)=v1v2v1+v2=806080+60=34.3km/hrv_{avr}=\frac{S/2+S/2}{t_1+t_2}=\frac{S/2+S/2}{S/(2v_1)+S/(2v_2)}=\frac{v_1v_2}{v_1+v_2}=\frac{80\cdot 60}{80+60}=34.3km/hr
