Question

An object covers the first 30 m of the journey in 5 seconds and the next 30 m in 3 seconds. What is the average speed of the object?

  1. 8.6 m/s
  2. 7.5 m/s
  3. 5.8 m/s
  4. 8 m/s

hintHint:

Average speed = total distance covered by an object / time taken by an object.

The correct answer is: 7.5 m/s


    • Given: 
    • Distance covered by an object in first half = S1 = 30m
    • Time covered by an object in first half = t= 5 seconds 
    • Distance covered by an object in second half = S= 30m
    • Time covered by an object in second half = t= 3 seconds
    Formula:
    Average speed = total distance / time taken
    Average speed = space fraction numerator S subscript 1 space plus space S subscript 2 over denominator t subscript 1 space end subscript space plus space t subscript 2 end fraction  ms-1

    Average speed = fraction numerator 30 space plus space 30 space over denominator 3 space plus space 5 space end fraction ms-1
    Average speed = 60 over 8 space m s to the power of negative 1 end exponent   = 7.5 ms-1
    ANSWER: 7.5 ms-1
