a train travels some distance with a speed of 30 km/h. and then it returns to 45 km/h. calculate the average speed
@ash2326 @AccessDenied @annas @Rohangrr
the average speed is (s1*t1 + s2*t2)/(t1 + t2), where s1 and s2 are the speeds and t1 and t2 are the respective times.
solve it further
@lgbasallote @lalaly
Let's say the distance is x. Total distance will be 2x. Time for first trip = x/30 Time for second trip = x/45 Average speed = 2x/(x/30 + x/45) = 2x/(x/18) = 36 km/h
okay thats final solution then
Why do you even need to ask if that is the final solution. Do it yourself and if you get that then it's right
be quiet @Romero
and I actually don't think that's the right answer btw
Distance=D Total Distance =2D Time one way=D/V1=D/30 Time the other way: D/V2=D/45 Total Time =T1+T2=D/30+D/45 Average Speed=Total Distance/Total Time = 2D/(D/30+D/45)=2/(1/30+1/45)=36Km/h
thank u all guys
