A car covers first half of the distance between two places at a speed of 40 km/hr and the second half at 60 km/hr. What is the average speed of the car?

A car moves along a straight path. It covers the first half length of the path at a rate 60 km/hr. and the second half length at a rate 40 km/hr. The average speed of the car is

A car and a bus start from a place P at the same time and move non-stop towards a place where the distance between P and Q is 210 km. The car takes half an hour less than the bus to arrive Q. If the average speed of the car is 10 km/h more than that of the bus, find the average speed of the car and the bus.

A motor car travelled 100 km at a velocity of 40 km/h and come back with a velocity of 25 km/h. Find the average speed.

Two cars A and B race each other. The Car A ran for 2 minute at a speed of 7.5 km/h, slept for 56 minute and again ran for 2 minute at a speed of 7.5 km/h. find the average speed of the car A in the race.

Two cars are moving in the same direction with the same speed ( = 30km/hr ). They are separated by a distance of 5 km. What is the speed of a car moving in the opposite direction if it met these cars at an interval of 4 minutes?

A car moving along a straight highway with a speed of 126 km h^-1 is brought to a stop within a distance of 200 m. What is the retardation of the car (assumed uniform), and how long does it take for the car to stop?

Abdul, while driving to school, computes the average speed for his trip to be 20 km h-1 . On his return trip along the same route, there is less traffic and the average speed is 30 km h^-1 . What is the average speed for Abdul's trip?

A man walks on a straight road from his home to a market 2.5 km away with a speed of 5 km h ^-1 . Finding the market closed, he instantly turns and walks back home with a speed of 7.5 km h^-1 . What is the average speed of the man over the interval of time (i) 0 to 30 min, (ii) 0 to 50 min, (Hi) 0 to 40. min? [Note: You will appreciate from this exercise why . it is better to define average speed as total path length divided by time, and not as magnitude of average velocity. You would not like to tell the tired man on his return home that his average speed was zero!]

A passenger arriving in a new town wishes to go from the station to a hotel located 10 km away on a straight road from the station. * A dishonest cabman takes him along a circuitous path 23 km long and reaches the hotel in 28 min. What is (a) the average speed of the taxi, (b) the magnitude of average velocity? Are the two equal?
