Ou drive on interstate 10 from san antonio to houston, half the time at 77 km/h and the other half at 119 km/h. on the way back you travel half the distance at 77 km/h and the other half at 119 km/h. what is your average speed (a) from san antonio to houston, (b) from houston back to san antonio, and (c) for the entire trip

Part a)98 km/h

Part b) 93.5 km/h

Part c) 95.7 km/h

Explanation:

A) For the trip from Antonio to Houston we have

Let the total time in which the trip is completed be 't'

Thus the distance covered with a speed of 77 km/h equals

Similarly the distance covered with a speed of 119 km/h equals

Now by definition of average speed we have

Average Speed =

Applying values we get

Average Speed for trip 1 =

Thus average speed equals

B)For the trip from Houston Antonio to we have

Let the total distance of the trip be 'd'

Time required to complete half the distance at a speed of 77 km/h equals

Time required to complete remaining half the distance at a speed of 119 km/h equals

Now by definition of average speed we have

Average Speed =

Applying values we get

Average Speed for trip 1 =

Thus average speed equals

C) For the entire trip we have

Average Speed =

Applying values we get

Average Speed for both the trips  =

Thus average speed for both the trips equals 95.7 km/h

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
