Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = Distance/Time

Given

Distance = 200km

Total speed = 100+50 = 150km/hr

Time = Distance/Speed

Time = 200/150

Time = 1.33hr

b) Average speed in km/hr is 150km/hr

Convert to m/s

150km/hr = 150 * 1000 m/1 * 3600s

150km/hr = 150,000/360

150km/hr = 416.67m/s
