A car moving on a highway covers the first 400.0 m in 18 = and then covers the next 250.0 m in 24.0
What is the average speed of the car?
A 9.5m
B 15.5 - c
C 27.0m
D 31 = 4
To find the average speed of the car, we need to calculate the total distance traveled and divide it by the total time taken.
Total distance traveled = 400.0m + 250.0m = 650.0m
Total time taken = 18.0s + 24.0s = 42.0s
Average speed = Total distance traveled / Total time taken
Average speed = 650.0m / 42.0s
Calculating this gives us an average speed of approximately 15.48 m/s.
Therefore, the correct answer is B) 15.5 m/s.
