Two-thirds 80635

The car traveled the first third of the track with a constant speed of v1, the next two-thirds of the way at a constant speed of v2=72km/h, and the average speed of v=36km/h. Find v1.

Correct answer:

v1 =  18 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

s1 = 1/3 s  km s2 = 2/3 s  km  v2=72 km/h v=36 km/h  t= s/v t2 = s2/v2 t1 = tt2  v1 = s1/t1 v1 =  1/3 s/(s/vs2/v2) v1 =  1/3 s/(s/v2/3 s/v2) v1 =  1/3/(1/v2/3/v2)  v1=31/(1/v32/v2)=31/(1/3632/72)=18 km/h
