A person travels by car from one city to another. She drives for 27.7 min at 80.9 km/h, 12 min at 117 km/h, 46.3 min at 40.2 km/h, and spends 16.7 min along the way eating lunch and buying gas. Determine the distance between the cities along this route. Answer in units of km. 007 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 points Determine the average speed for the trip. Answer in units of km/h.

Respuesta :

Answer:[tex]V_{avg}=53.60 km/h[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

In first interval velocity=80.9 km/h for 27.7 min

In second interval=117 km/h for 12 min

In third interval=40.2 km/h for 46.3 min

Also she spends 16.7 min while eating and buying gas

[tex]Distance =80.9\times \frac{27.7}{60}+117\times \frac{12}{60}+40.2\times \frac{46.3}{60}[/tex]

Distance=91.761 m

[tex]V_{avg}=\frac{Displacement}{total\ time}[/tex]

[tex]V_{avg}=\frac{91.761}{27.7+12+46.3+16.7}\times 60[/tex]

[tex]V_{avg}=53.60 km/h[/tex]
