could not think of a possible formula.Doc Al said:Well? Where's your attempt?
distance traveled by an object during an intervalDoc Al said:What's the most basic definition of average speed?
iamchattha said:could not think of a possible formula.
but in the case of above mentioned question three speeds and vales of time are give...not distance and time...i have to drive average speed using 3 vales of speed and timeWilliam White said:err, everybody in the whole world knows that
speed = miles per hour (or km per hour)
so you know one formula!
William White said:okay
you are in a car that goes 20 miles per hour for 2 hours; then 40 miles per hour for 2 hours and then 60 miles an hour for 6 hours.
how long has elapsed (in hours) and how far has the car gone (in miles) ?
William White said:Q1) a car travels 20mph for 2 hours. How far has it gone?
it would be 480 miles in totaliamchattha said:40 miles
are you referring to thisWilliam White said:edit, you know how to do it now.
Exactly!iamchattha said:distance traveled by an object during an interval
The formula for calculating average speed is distance divided by time. This can be represented as: Avg speed = distance / time.
The distance traveled by a racing car can be measured using a GPS device, a speedometer, or by using landmarks on the track. The most accurate method is using a GPS device, as it can track the exact distance traveled by the car.
No, average speed and top speed are two different measurements. Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken, while top speed is the maximum speed reached by the car at any given point. Top speed is a measure of the car's maximum capability, while average speed represents the overall performance.
The weight of the car can affect its average speed in several ways. A heavier car may have more momentum, making it harder to accelerate and maintain a consistent speed. On the other hand, a lighter car may have better handling and be able to accelerate more quickly. Ultimately, the design and aerodynamics of the car also play a significant role in determining its average speed.
Yes, external factors such as weather and track conditions can significantly impact the average speed of a racing car. Strong winds, rain, or extreme temperatures can affect the car's aerodynamics and handling, making it more challenging to maintain a consistent speed. Additionally, the condition of the track, such as its surface and turns, can also impact the car's performance and average speed.
