Answer:
25 m/s
Explanation:
Data provided in the question
20 m/s for 10 minutes
And, the 30 m/s for another 10 minutes
Based on the above information, the average speed is
As we know that
[tex]Average\ speed = \frac{Total\ distance}{Total\ time}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{20\times10\times60 + 30\times10\times60 }{20\times60}[/tex]
= 25 m/s
1 hour = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds
Hence, the average speed is 25 m/s
In the question, there are miles is given but instead of this we use the minutes as we have to find out the average speed and time should not be in miles it should be in minutes, hour or seconds
Therefore we considered the same
