You drive on interstate 10 from san antonio to houston, half the time at 51 km/h and the other half at 71 km/h. on the way back you travel half the distance at 51 km/h and the other half at 71 km/h.
what is your average speed (a) from san antonio to houston, (b) from houston back to san antonio, and (c) for the entire trip? (d) what is your average velocity for the entire trip?

Part a)

Part b)

Part c)

Part d)

average velocity must be ZERO

Explanation:

While he drive San Antonio to Houston

Half the time move with speed 51 km/h and next half his speed is 71 km/h

so we have

so average speed is given as

Part b)

While he move from Houston to San Antonio half the distance is moved with 51 km/h and next half distance with 71 km/h

so we have

so average speed is given as

Part c)

Average speed for entire trip

Part d)

Since total displacement of entire trip is zero

so average velocity must be ZERO

i think it’s a. this is because if they measured the mass of something with a mass of 150g, then their final answer would have to be approximately 150g. though all of their answers are almost 150, rosa and tran have the closest answers (or the exact answer) to the accurate one.
