A burst water pipe in the city means you have to drive at a steady 12 km/h. Once past this obstacle, you speed up to 52 km/h in 10 s. You reach the freeway and, with the same acceleration, speed up for another 10 s to reach a higher speed. What is this final speed in km/h to one decimal place?

Distance and Speed

The speed, distance and time relation forms the basis of study of motion. You will need these concepts in the study of Mechanics. This concept is applicable for students who are studying the following courses –

Question

A burst water pipe in the city means you have to drive at a steady 12 km/h. Once
past this obstacle, you speed up to 52 km/h in 10 s. You reach the freeway and, with
the same acceleration, speed up for another 10 s to reach a higher speed. What is
this final speed in km/h to one decimal place?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Final speed of the car is 92 Km/H
