If a car travels from town A to town B on one road at different speeds and stops at red lights, knowing the distance between the towns and the total time of the trip can allow you to calculate

The only thing you could calculate with that information would be the car's AVERAGE SPEED for the trip.

If you know the straight-line distance and direction between A and B, then you can also calculate the car's AVERAGE VELOCITY for the trip.

Answer:

Average speed

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of total distance traveled to the total time taken is defined as speed.


Average speed = (total distance traveled)/(total time taken)

The unit of average speed is metre per second.

So, if a car travels from town A to town B on the road with different speeds in total given time, from this data we can calculate the average speed of the car.
