An object travels 16 m in 4s and then another 16 m in 2 s. What is the average speed of the object?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Total distance travelled by the object
`= 16 m + 16 m = 32 m`
Total time taken `= 4 s + 2s = 6s`
Average speed `v _(av) = ("Total distance travelled")/("Total time taken") = (32m)/(6s) = 5.33 ms ^(-1)`
`therefore` Therefore, the average speed of the object is `5.33 ms ^(-1).`
