I'm assuming your question refers to the train travels 81 km in 2 hours, as in that's the total distance covered versus the speed for those 2 hours, whereas the 90 km in 2 hours the second time around is the total distance not speed I would assume.
Now... if it was going 81 km for the first 2 hours and 90 km for the second 2 hours then the average speed would be the mean of these numbers, with that being 85.5 km. Though, I doubt that's your question.
With that said, 81 km covered by 2 hours and 90 km covered by 2 more hours. To acquire the km an hour average, we'll have to divide the distance by how many hours it traveled: 81 / 2 = 40.5 90 / 2 = 45
Meaning the train was going 40.5 km an hour for the first 2 hours and 45 km an hour for the second 2 hours. Now, to find the mean: 40.5 + 45 = 85.5 / 2 = 42.75
In-case you were wondering, the mean is the sum of all the numbers in a set, divided by the total amount of numbers in that set, take for instance: 3, 5, 9, 2, 1, 5. -> There are 6 numbers in this set. 3 + 5 + 9 + 2 + 1 + 5 = 25 -> 25 is the sum of these numbers. 25 / 6 = 4.2 (estimated) -> 4.2 is roughly the mean or average between the original set.
Anyhow, with that aside the average speed between this I would believe would be 42.75 km an hour. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day! ^ ^ | | Ghostgate (Alter) | |
Pascal's law (also Pascal's principle[1][2][3] or the principle of transmission of fluid-pressure) is a principle in fluid mechanics given by Blaise Pascal that states that a pressure change at any point in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere.[4] The law was established by French mathematician Blaise Pascal in 1653 and published in 1663.[5][6]
