Uniform rectilinear motion 0003

A body travels in straight lines with an average speed of 1200 cm/s for 9 s, and then average speed of 480 cm/s for 7 s, with two speeds in the same direction:

a) What is total displacement in the journey of 16 s?

b) What is the average speed the entire trip?

Solution:

a) x = 141.6 m ; b) v = 8.85 m/s
