P.S: The answer is not 540

The total distance covered by the particle or the body in a total time is called average speed. It is a scalar quantity. It is the ratio of distance to time.

We know that the average speed formula

[tex]\rm v_{a} = \dfrac{v_1+ v_2}{2}[/tex]

The speed of the jet Alyssa flew on from Boston to London was 480 mph.

On her return flight, the speed of the jet was 600 mph with a tailwind.

Then the average speed of the jet will be

[tex]\rm v_{a} = \dfrac{v_1+ v_2}{2}\\\\v_{a} = \dfrac{480 + 600}{2}\\\\v_{a} = 540\ mph[/tex]
