A person travels by car from one city to another with different constant speeds between pairs of cities. She drives for 10.0 min at 75.0 km/h, 6.0 min at 95.0 km/h, and 45.0 min at 40.0 km/h and spends 40.0 min eating lunch and buying gas.(a) Determine the average speed for the trip.
(b) Determine the distance between the initial and final cities along the route.

Answer:

a)  v = 0.515 km / min ,   b)  x_total = 52 km

Explanation:

The measured speed is defined by the distance traveled between the time

         v = [tex]\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}[/tex]

In this case they give us the speed in several time intervals

let's find the distance traveled in each interval

a) Goes at 75 km/h for 10 min

        v = [tex]\frac{x}{t}[/tex]x / t

         x₁ = v t

let's reduce speed to km / min

         v₁ = 75 km / h (1h / 60 min) = 1.25 km / min

the distance traveled in this time is

        x₁ = 1.25 10

        x₁ = 12.5 km

b) goes to v = 95 km / h for 6 min

        v = 95 km / h (1h 60 min) = 1.5833 km / min

the distance traveled is

        x₂ = v₂2 t

        x₂ = 1.58333 6

        x₂ = 9.5 km

c) goes to v = 40 km / h for 45.0 min

         v₃ = 40 km / h (1 h / 60min) = 0.6667 km / min

         x₃ = 0.6667 45

         x₃ = 30 km

d) t = 40 min, stopped

         x₄ = 0

A) let's calculate the average speed of the trip

          v =[tex]\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}+x_{4} }{t_{1}+t_{2}+t_{3}+t_{4} }[/tex]

          v = (12.5 +9.5 +30 +0) / (10 +6 +45 +40)

          v = 52/101

         v = 0.515 km / min

B) the distance between the two cities is

        x_total = x₁ + x₂ + x₃

        x_total = 12.5 +9.5 + 30

        x_total = 52 km
