#1; 10 km @ 40 kmph = 0.25 hrs 15 mins)
#2; 10 km @ 60 kmph = 0.166666..... hrs 10 min
#3; 10 km @ 20 kmph = 0.5 hrs 30 mins.
Distance = 30 km
Time = 0.25 + 0.16666... + 0.5 = 0.9166666... hrs
Hence average speed is 30 km / 0.916666... = 32.7272... kmph

Instantaneous speed is the speed at a particular moment in time.The average speed of an object tells you the (average) rate at which it covers distance
Speed in kph = 100/1.5
speed = distance / time. In travelling over a distance, the speed may vary. The average speed is the constant speed that covers the given distance in the given time. First convert the time to hours and fractions of hours: 45min = 45/60 hrs = 0.75hrs 3hr 45min = 3.75hrs Now divide: average speed = 180 / 3.75 = 48 mph.

Average speed = distance/time = 20 metres per second.
(60 + 40) ÷ 2 = 50 kmh
An object with an average speed of 1 m/s covers 1 meter every second on average. This means it moves steadily at a constant speed in a straight line, covering equal distances in equal intervals of time.
Instantaneous speed is the speed of an object at a specific moment in time, while speed refers to the average rate at which an object covers distance over a period of time. Instantaneous speed gives the speed at a precise instant, whereas speed provides an overall measure of how fast an object is moving.
To find the average speed of a cyclist, divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken to travel that distance. For example, if a cyclist covers 30 miles in 2 hours, the average speed would be 15 miles per hour (30 miles divided by 2 hours).
The distance from Southampton to New York is 3400 miles (not nautical) and the ships covers this distance in about 170 hrs, so the average speed would be just over 20 miles per hour.
To calculate average speed, divide the total distance traveled by the time taken. If you have the distance and time values for the first 4 seconds, you can use this formula to find the average speed over that time interval.
Just divide the distance by the time.
