Motion

Short Answer Type

A motorcyclist drives from A to B with a uniform speed  of 30 km h-1 and returns back with a speed of 20 km h-1. Find its average speed.

Let AB = x, So  t1 = x /30 and t2 = x/20

Total Time = t1 + t2 = 5x / 60 hr 

Average speed for entire journey = Total distance / Total Time

2x /5x /60 = 24 km hr-1
