Well, "speed" normally = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).

In this case, we don't know the total distance that Santa has traveled, so the question can be answered only if we're willing to consider some other meaning of "speed".

Maybe we could say that in this case, "speed" means the average rate at which he visits houses. Then ...

Speed of visits = (total houses visited) / (time to visit them).

Speed of visits = (800 million houses) / (48 hours)

Speed of visits = 16.67 million houses per hour.

That's 277.8 thousand houses per minute

That's <em>4,630 houses per second</em>

You plan a trip on which you want to average 91 km/h. You cover the first half of the distance at an average speed of only 49 km

Travka [436]

Answer:

637 km/h, not reasonable

Explanation:

Total average speed = 91 km/h

Average speed of first half, v1 = 49 km/h

Let the average speed for the next half is v2.

Let the total distance is 2s.

Time taken for first half of the journey, t1 = s / v1 = s / 49

Time take for the next half of the journey, t2 = s / v2

The average speed is defined as the total distance traveled to the total time taken

$91=\frac{2s}{\frac{s}{49}+\frac{s}{v_{2}}}$

$\frac{s}{49}+\frac{s}{v_{2}}=\frac{2s}{91}$

$\frac{1}{v_{2}}=\frac{2}{91}-\frac{1}{49}$

[tex]\frac{1}{v_{2}}=\frac{7}{4459}

v2 = 637 km/h

This is very high speed which is not reasonable.

maw [93]

Answer:

Common velocity will be 2 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given a car of mass 1000 kg is traveling in east at 20 m /sec

So $m_1=1000kg$ and $v_1=20m/sec$ ( take east direction as positive )
