Answer: 114 km/h

Explanation:

The formula for determining average speed is expressed as

Average speed = total distance/total time

The car travels 85 km in the first half hour of a trip. The car continues to travel for 2 more hours and travels 200 km. It means that the total distance that the car travels is

85 + 200 = 285 km

The total time spent by the car is

0.5 + 2 = 2.5 hours

Therefore,

Average speed = 285/2.5 = 114 km/h

frez [133]

With velocity, you have to be careful.  With velocity, it doesn't matter how much total distance you covered while you were moving.  All that matters is the straight-line distance between the place you started from and the place where you stopped.  

If you ended in the same place where you started from, then it doesn't matter whether you drove around town all day and then came home, or ran around laps on a circular track, or zig-zagged back and forth a hundred times.  The straight distance from your start-point to your end-point is zero.  So technically, according to the defintion of velocity, it was <em>ZERO</em>.

How much time would it take to go up to the moon and back
marusya05 [52]

That completely depends on your speed and the trajectory (path) you choose.

The Apollo missions took about 3 days each way.

The New Horizons spacecraft passed the moon within a couple of hours after it was launched.
