A car covers the first half of the distance between two places at a speed of `40 kmh^(-1)` and second half at `60 kmh^(-1)` Calculate the average speed of the car.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the average speed of the car that covers the first half of the distance at a speed of 40 km/h and the second half at a speed of 60 km/h, we can use the formula for average speed when the distances are equal but the speeds are different. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Speeds:** - Let \( v_1 = 40 \) km/h (speed for the first half) - Let \( v_2 = 60 \) km/h (speed for the second half) ...
