You ride a bike for 2 hours at 25 km/hr then 3 hours at 34 km/hr. what is your average velocity (in km/hr)?

30.4 km/hr

We are given;

We are required to determine the average velocity in km/hr

Distance = Speed × time

Distance covered in the first 2 hours;

               = 25 km/hr × 2 hours

               = 50 km

Distance in the next 3 hours

                = 34 km/hr × 3 hours

                = 102 km

Therefore, total distance = 50 km + 102 km

                                        = 152 km

Total time = 2 hrs + 3 hrs

                = 5 hours

Therefore;

Average speed = 152 km ÷ 5 hours

                          = 30.4 km/hr

Thus, the average speed is 30.4 km/hr

the only real purpose of sputnik 1 was to beat the us into space. we were getting close to launching a useful satellite, explorer 1 - which launched on january 31, 1958. the ussr had to beat that, so they launched sputnik 1 on october 4, 19
