  1. :::SOLUTION:

    The total time for the journey is given as,

    t=v1d1+v2d2

    =4030+2030

    =2.25hour

    The average speed is given as

    vavg=td1+d2

    =2.2530+30

    =26.67km/h

    Ans: Thus, the average speed of the car is 26.67km/h.

  2. [tex]\sf t1 = \frac{s1}{v1} = \frac{10}{20} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

    [tex]\sf t2 = \frac{20}{10} [/tex]

    [tex]\rm avg \: speed = \frac{total \: distance}{total \: time}[/tex]

    [tex] \begin{gathered}\sf avg \: speed = \frac{30}{ \frac{1}{2} + 2 } \\\sf avg \: speed = \frac{30}{ \frac{5}{2} } \\\sf avg \: speed = \frac{30 \times 2}{5} \\\sf avg \: speed = 12 \frac{m}{s} \end{gathered} [/tex]
