A car travels a distance of 100 km in 2 hours and then another 150 km in 3 hours. Calculate the average speed of the car for the entire journey.
PhysicsClass 9CBSEAnswered 13 May 2026
Answer
Total Distance = 100 km + 150 km = 250 km
Total Time = 2 hours + 3 hours = 5 hours
Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time = 250 km / 5 hours = 50 km/h.
