Answer:
Average speed = 2.01km/min
Explanation:
Given the following data
Distance A = 27
Time A = 13 mins
Distance B = 33km
Time B = 17mims
Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.
Mathematically, speed is given by the equation;
[tex]Speed = \frac{distance}{time}[/tex]
For part A
Speed = 27/13
Speed = 2.08km/min
For part B
Speed = 33/17
Speed = 1.94km/min
Average speed = (A + B)/2
Average speed = (2.08 + 1.94)/2
Average speed = 4.02/2
Average speed = 2.01km/min
