Question
Which (if either) has the greater average speed?
a- a truck that travels from milepost 92 to milepost 100 in 10 minutes
b- car that travels from milepost 113 to milepost 120 in 10 minutes.
Im not understanding how to work this problem because a- is going 8 miles. b- is going 7 miles. So would neither have the greater average speed?
Expert Solution
Step 1
Given data:
Initial position of truck (xi) = 92 mile
Final position of truck (xf) = 100 mile
Time taken by truck (t) = 10 minutes
Initial position of car (xi) = 113 mile
Final position of car (xf) = 120 mile
Time taken by car (t) = 10 minutes
Required:
The vehicle that has greater average speed
