(a) The average speed must you have for the second half of the trip to meet your goal is 8 km/h.
(b) The value obtained (8 km/h) is not reasonable for the second half of the distance since the first half is 48km/h.
<h3>
What is average velocity?</h3>
Average velocity is defined as the change in position or displacement (∆x) divided by the time intervals (∆t) in which the displacement occurs.
average velocity = total distance / total time
v = (d)/(0.5d/v₁ + 0.5d/v₂)
where;
- v is the average velocity
- v₁ is the average velocity during the first half
- v₂ is the average velocity during the second half
90 km/h = (d) / (0.5d/48 + 0.5d/v₂)
90(0.5d/48 + 0.5d/v₂) = d
0.9375d + 0.5d/v₂ = d
d(0.9375 + 0.5/v₂) = d
0.9375 + 0.5/v₂ = 1
0.5/v₂ = 0.0625
v₂ = 0.5/0.0625
v₂ = 8 km/h
Thus, the average speed must you have for the second half of the trip to meet your goal is 8 km/h.
The value obtained (8 km/h) is not reasonable for the second half of the distance since the first half is 48km/h.
