Problem 2-62 - Distance and speed - Part 6 (a)

A truck travels at 80 km/h for 30 min, then at 60 km/h for 1.5 hr. Assuming 2 significant digits in the given numbers, calculate the truck's
(a) total distance traveled, and
(b) average speed.

Accumulated Solution

\(\text{speed} = \frac{d}{\Delta t} \\ d = \text{(speed)} \Delta t \\ d_1 = 40\; km \\ d_2 = 90\; km\)
