3 problems and solutions about the Speed equation<\/span><\/p>\n

1. A car travels to the south for 100 m in 1 minute then turns to the east 120 m in 0.5 minutes. Determine the average speed of the car.<\/span><\/p>\n

Known:<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Total distance = 100 meters + 120 meters = 220 meters<\/span><\/p>\n

Total time = 1 minute + 0.5 minutes = 1.5 minutes = 90 seconds<\/span><\/p>\n

Wanted:<\/u> Average speed<\/span><\/p>\n

Solution:<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Speed formula<\/span><\/p>\n

Average speed = total distance : total time = 220 meters : 90 seconds = 2.4 meters\/second<\/span><\/p>\n

2. A boat traveling in a straight line for a distance of 100 meters after 10 seconds. What is the average speed of the boat?<\/span><\/p>\n

Known:<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Distance = 100 meters<\/span><\/p>\n

Time = 10 seconds<\/span><\/p>\n

Wanted<\/u>:<\/u> Average speed<\/span><\/p>\n

Solution:<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Speed formula<\/span><\/p>\n

Average speed = 100 meters : 10 seconds = 10 meters\/second<\/span><\/p>\n

3. A particle moves from point O to point B in 4 s and from B to A in 20 s. Determine the average speed of the particles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Known<\/u>:\"Speed<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Distance of OB = 5 meters<\/span><\/p>\n

Distance of BA = 8 meters<\/span><\/p>\n

Time of OB = 4 seconds<\/span><\/p>\n

Time of BA = 20 seconds<\/span><\/p>\n

Wanted:<\/u> The average speed of the particles<\/span><\/p>\n

Solution:<\/u> <\/span><\/p>\n

Speed formula<\/span><\/p>\n

The average speed of the particles = total distance : total time = (5 + 8) : (4 + 20) = 13 : 24 = 0.54 meter\/second<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
