Question
A car moves a distance of 200 m. It covers the first half of the distance at speed 40 km/hr and second half of distance at speed v. The average speed is 48 km/hr. Find the value of v?
Solution
We have,
Distance moved, s = 2 km
Velocity, u1 = 40 km/hr
u2 = v
Average velocity =
On solving the equation, we get
v = 60 km/hr
