Question

A car moving on a highway covers the first 400.0 m in 18.0s and then covers the next 250.0 m in 24.0 s.

What is the average speed of the car?

Answer 1

Answer: 15.48 m/s

Explanation:

The following information can be gotten from the question:

Total distance covered by the car will be:

= 400m + 250m

= 650m

Total time taken = 18.0s + 24.0s = 42s

Average speed = Distance/Time

= 650/42

= 15.48 m/s
