Chapter 2: Problem 73
Think \& Calculate You drive in a straight line at \(20.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) for \(10.0 \mathrm{mi}\), then at \(30.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) for another \(10.0 \mathrm{mi}\). (a) Is your average speed \(25.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\), more than \(25.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\), or less than \(25.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) ? Explain. (b) Verify your answer to part (a) by calculating the average speed.
