Physics

To calculate the average speed of the object during the entire time, we need to find the total distance traveled and the total time taken.

 

Calculate total distance:

For the first part of the motion (10 m/s for 3 seconds):

Distance₁ = Speed × Time = 10m/s × 3s = 30m

 

For the second part of the motion (20 m/s for 2 seconds):

Distance₂ = Speed × Time = 20m/s × 2s = 40m

 

Total Distance = Distance₁ + Distance₂ = 30m + 40m = 70m

 

Calculate total time:

Total time is the sum of the times for both parts:

Total Time = 3s + 2s = 5s

 

Then, calculate average peed:
