Solution

Step 1: Given
Distance traveled, $d_{1} = d_{2} = 15 m$
Time taken,
$t_{1} = 3 s t_{2} = 2 s$
Step 2: Formula used
$A v e r a g e s p e e d = \frac{T o t a l d i s \tan c e}{T o t a l t i m e}$
Step 3: Determine the average speed
$A v e r a g e s p e e d = \frac{T o t a l d i s \tan c e}{T o t a l t i m e} = \frac{d_{1} + d_{2}}{t_{1} + t_{2}} = \frac{15 + 15}{2 + 3} = \frac{30}{5} = 6 m / s$
Therefore, the average speed of the car is $6 m / s$ .
