The correct Answer is:
To find the average speed of the man moving along the different sections of the road, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate Total Distance The total distance covered by the man is the sum of the distances of all three segments of the journey: - Distance up the incline: 3 km - Distance on the level road: 3 km - Distance down the incline: 3 km Total distance \( S \) = \( 3 \, \text{km} + 3 \, \text{km} + 3 \, \text{km} = 9 \, \text{km} \) ### Step 2: Convert Total Distance to Meters To work with consistent units, convert kilometers to meters: \[ 9 \, \text{km} = 9 \times 1000 \, \text{m} = 9000 \, \text{m} \] ### Step 3: Calculate Time Taken for Each Segment Using the formula \( \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} \): 1. **Time for the incline up (3 km at 2 m/s)**: \[ t_1 = \frac{3000 \, \text{m}}{2 \, \text{m/s}} = 1500 \, \text{s} \] 2. **Time for the level road (3 km at 3 m/s)**: \[ t_2 = \frac{3000 \, \text{m}}{3 \, \text{m/s}} = 1000 \, \text{s} \] 3. **Time for the incline down (3 km at 6 m/s)**: \[ t_3 = \frac{3000 \, \text{m}}{6 \, \text{m/s}} = 500 \, \text{s} \] ### Step 4: Calculate Total Time Now, sum up the times for all segments: \[ \text{Total time} = t_1 + t_2 + t_3 = 1500 \, \text{s} + 1000 \, \text{s} + 500 \, \text{s} = 3000 \, \text{s} \] ### Step 5: Calculate Average Speed The average speed \( V_{avg} \) is given by the formula: \[ V_{avg} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}} \] Substituting the values: \[ V_{avg} = \frac{9000 \, \text{m}}{3000 \, \text{s}} = 3 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Final Answer The average speed of the man is **3 m/s**. ---
