The correct Answer is:
To find the average speed of the car, we need to follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the distance covered in the first part of the journey. The man drives his car at a speed of 30 km/h for 3 hours. - Distance (s1) = Speed × Time - s1 = 30 km/h × 3 h = 90 km ### Step 2: Calculate the time taken for the second part of the journey. In the second part, he covers a distance of 90 km at a speed of 45 km/h. - Time (t2) = Distance / Speed - t2 = 90 km / 45 km/h = 2 h ### Step 3: Calculate the total distance covered. The total distance covered (S) is the sum of the distances from both parts: - Total Distance (S) = s1 + s2 - S = 90 km + 90 km = 180 km ### Step 4: Calculate the total time taken. The total time taken (T) is the sum of the time from both parts: - Total Time (T) = t1 + t2 - T = 3 h + 2 h = 5 h ### Step 5: Calculate the average speed. Average speed (V_avg) is given by the formula: - V_avg = Total Distance / Total Time - V_avg = 180 km / 5 h = 36 km/h ### Step 6: Convert average speed to meters per second. To convert km/h to m/s, we use the conversion factor (1 km/h = 5/18 m/s): - V_avg (m/s) = 36 km/h × (5/18) = 10 m/s ### Final Answer: The average speed of the car is **10 m/s**. ---
