To determine the average speed for the rider's entire journey, we calculate the total distance traveled and the total time taken using the formula: Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time.
Total Distance for the journey = Distance\(_1\) + Distance\(_2\) + Distance\(_3\)
Total Distance = \(60 \text{ km} + 40 \text{ km} + 50 \text{ km} = 150 \text{ km}\).
Total Time for the journey = Time\(_1\) + Time\(_2\) + Time\(_3\)
Total Time = \(2 \text{ hours} + 2 \text{ hours} + 2 \text{ hours} = 6 \text{ hours}\).
Now, calculate the average speed using the total distance and total time:
Average Speed = \(\frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}}\)
Average Speed = \(\frac{150 \text{ km}}{6 \text{ hours}}\)
Average Speed = \(25 \text{ km/h}\).
The average speed of the rider for the entire journey is 25 km/h.
A boy goes to school at a speed of 5 km/hr. He returns at a speed of 14 km/hr. He takes a total of 8 hours for both going to school and returning. The distance (in km) between his home and school is:
Two trains of lengths 155 m and 160 m are running at speeds of 74 km/hr and 52 km/hr, respectively, on parallel tracks in opposite directions. In how many seconds will they pass each other?
A 280 m long train running at a speed of 72 km/hr passes a platform in 30 seconds. Find the length of the platform (in m).
Vijay rides a bicycle 10 m from home to his tuition, then 5 m to a shop. He travels back home the same way, covering the same distance. What is his total path length?
A train travelling at a speed of 72 km/hr crosses a post in 20 seconds. If it crosses another train travelling at a speed of 54 km/hr in the same direction in 1 minute 45 seconds, then the difference in length between the two trains is
Rajiv's boat can travel along the current at the 8 km/hour and against the current at the rate 6 km/hour. Find the time taken by the boat to sail 28 km in still water.
Two trains running in opposite directions cross a man standing on the platform in 25 seconds and 32 seconds respectively and they cross each other in 30 seconds. The ratio of their speed is:
A worker covers a distance of 81 km in 11 hours. He travels partly on foot at 4.5 km/h and partly on bicycle at 15 km/h. What is the distance covered on the cycle?
A car travels from a place X to place Y at an average speed of v km/hr from y to X at an average speed of 2v km/hr, again from X to y at an average speed of 3v km/hr and again from y to x at an average speed of 4v km/hr. Then the average speed of the car for the entire journey
