Answer to Problem 17P
The average speed of the last third of the trip is
Explanation of Solution
Formula:
Given that train averaged
Formula:
Let total distance be x and one third speed be
First, determine the total time of two third distance covered with speed
Now, determine the total time of remaining one third distance covered with speed
Finally determine the time for total distance travelled be x with the speed of
Now, Add equation ( i ) and equation ( ii ) and compare with equation (iii)
Hence, The average speed of the last third of the trip is
