Subtopic: Average Speed and Velocity

A car moves a distance of 200 m. It covers first half of the distance at speed 60 kmh–¹ and the second half at speed v. If the average speed is 40 kmh–¹, the value of v is
30 kmh–¹
13 kmh–¹
20 kmh–¹
40 kmh–¹

Solution:

\[ V_{av}= \frac{2V_{1}.V_{2}}{V_{1}+V_{2}}\]

\[ 40= \frac{2\times 60\times V_{2}}{ 60+V_{2}}  \]

\[ V_{2}= 30 m/s \]
