# Failure

Drivers of passenger cars have calculated that at a speed of 60 km/h arrives at destination within 40 minutes. After 20 km refrain five minutes due a technical failure. How fast must go the rest of the way to the finish came at the scheduled time?

Result

v2 =  80 km/h

#### Solution:

$v_{1}=60 \ \\ t=40/60=\dfrac{ 2 }{ 3 } \doteq 0.6667 \ \text{h} \ \\ s=v_{1} \cdot \ t=60 \cdot \ 0.6667=40 \ \text{km} \ \\ s_{1}=20 \ \text{km} \ \\ \ \\ t_{1}=s_{1}/v_{1}=20/60 \doteq \dfrac{ 1 }{ 3 } \doteq 0.3333 \ \text{h} \ \\ s_{2}=s - s_{1}=40 - 20=20 \ \text{km} \ \\ t_{2}=t - t_{1} - 5/60=0.6667 - 0.3333 - 5/60=\dfrac{ 1 }{ 4 }=0.25 \ \text{h} \ \\ v_{2}=s_{2}/t_{2}=20/0.25=80 \ \text{km/h}$
