A train covers 50 km with the speed of 100 km per hour and another 50 km with a speed of 50 km per hour. Find the average velocity.

Open in App

Solution

Average velocity= initial speed(u) + final speed(v)/2

Initial speed=100km per hour
final speed=50 km per hour
Average velocity = 100+50/2
Average velocity= 150÷2
Average Velocity=75km per hour
