A quarter of the entire time of movement, the speed was 20 km / h, and the rest of the time was 30 km / h. Find the average speed of movement.
v1 = 20 km / h – body speed for the 4th part of the entire movement time;
v2 = 30 km / h – body speed for the remaining time of movement.
It is required to determine the average speed vav (km / h).
Let the body have traveled a full path in time t.
Then, in time 1/4 t, it passed the path:
S1 = v1 * t / 4.
And in the remaining time it has passed the way:
S2 = v2 * 3 * t / 4.
Full path that the body has traveled:
S = S1 + S2 = v1 * t / 4 + 3 * v2 * t / 4 = t * (v1 + 3 * v2) / 4.
Then the average speed of the body is:
vav = S / t = t * (v1 + 3 * v2) / 4 * t = (v1 + 3 * v2) / 4 = (20 + 3 * 30) / 4 = (20 + 90) / 4 =
= 110/4 = 27.5 km / h.
Answer: the average body speed is 27.5 km / h.
