A car travels in a straight line with an average velocity of 80 km/h for 2.5 h and then with an average velocity of 40 km/h for 1.Sh. What is the total displacement for the 4h trip and what is the average velocity for the total trip

Respuesta :

Answer:

260 km

65 km/hr

Explanation:

The displacement of an object is the distance moved by that object in a particular direction.

velocity = displacement / time, therefore,

Displacement = velocity * time.

Total displacement for the 4 HR trip = displacement for 2.5 hr + displacement for 1.5 hr

total displacement = (80 * 2.5) + (40 * 1.5)

Total displacement = 200 + 60

Total displacement = 260 Km

average velocity for the total trip = total displacement / total time taken

average velocity = 260 km/ 4 hr

average velocity = 65 km/hr
