A person, travelling on a motorway a total distance of 200 km,travels the first 90 km at an average speed of 80 km/hr. Which average speed must be obtained for the rest of the journey if the person is to reach the destination in a total time of 2 hours 0 minutes?
Correct answer: D. 126 km/hr
- A. 110 km/hr
- B. 120 km/hr
- C. 122 km/hr
- D. 126 km/hr
Explanation
Average speed = total distance / total timeTime taken to travel first 90 km = 90/80=1.125 h = 1h 7.5 minFor the rest of the journey, Distance that needs to be travelled =200-90 = 110 km Time remaining =2h-1.125 h- 0.875 hAverage speed = total distance/ total time = 110 / 0.875 = 126 km/hAs it is numerical, it can have only one answer.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
