Time & distance

Average Speed Average speed is always equal to total distance travelled to total time taken to travel that distance.Average speed=Total distanceTotal timeAverage speed=Total distanceTotal time Distance ConstantIf distance travelled for each part of the journey, ie d1=d2=d3=…=dn=dd1=d2=d3=…=dn=d, then average speed of the object is Harmonic Mean of speeds.Let each distance be covered with speeds s1,s2,…sns1,s2,…sn in t1,t2,…tnt1,t2,…tn times respectively.Then t1=ds1t1=ds1, t2=ds2t2=ds2, … tn=dsntn=dsnAverage Speed=d+d+d+…ntimes(ds1)+(ds2)+(ds3)+…(dsn)Average…
