car was moving in a straight road of length 320 km it covered 240 km with an average velocity 75 km/hr then it ran out of fuel and stopped for 0.6 hr until it was refueled and completed its journey with a velocity 100 km/hr so the average velocity during the whole journey

The average velocity of the car for the whole journey is 69.57 km/h.

The given parameters:

  • Length of the road, L = 320 km
  • Distance covered = 240 km at 75 km/h
  • time spent refueling, t₂ = 0.6 hr
  • Final velocity, = 100 km/hr

The time spent by the before refueling is calculated as follows;

[tex]t = \frac{d}{v} \\\\t_1 = \frac{240}{75} \\\\t_1 = 3.2 \ hours[/tex]

The time spent by the car for the remaining journey;

[tex]t_3 = \frac{320 - 240}{100} \\\\t_3 = 0.8 \ hr[/tex]

The total time of the journey is calculated as follows;

[tex]t = t_1 + t_2 + t_3\\\\t = 3.2 \ hr \ + \ 0.6 \ hr \ + \ 0.8 \ hr\\\\t = 4.6 \ hours[/tex]

The average velocity of the car for the whole journey is calculated as follows;

[tex]v = \frac{total \ distance }{total \ time} \\\\v = \frac{320}{4.6} \\\\v = 69.57 \ km/h[/tex]
