If you go halfway to the town which is 60 km away at the speed of 30 kmhour how fast do you have to go for the rest of the way to have the average speed of the entire way 60 kmhour?

It cannot be done. The trip is 60km. The half-way point is at 30 km. At 30km/hr, it takes 1 hour to go half-way. To average 60 km/hr, you would need to make the entire trip in 1 hour. So you have already consumed all your time.

What was ashley' s average speed for the entire trip?
160 meters per minute
How would you find the average speed of an cyclist during an entire race?
Find the distance of the race. Find the cyclist's start time. Find the cyclist's finish time. Elapsed time = Finish time - Start time. Average speed = Distance/Elapsed time.
A train leaves the station heading west on the tracks It takes the train 8 seconds to reach 80 miles per hour It completes the entire 160 mile trip in two hours Calculate the train's average speed?
Average speed = 80 miles per hour.
When average velocity and average speed is equal?
For the instantaneous value of average velocity, average speed and average velocity are equal.
What is the formula to find the average speed of a given distance and time?
Distance = time * average speed (velocity) Average speed = Distance/time
Is the average of the total speed for an entire trip instantaneous speed?
by jumping
Is speed that does not vary is called average speed?
No, speed can vary and one can still calculate the average speed of an entire trip. Average speed is equal to the change in distance divided by the change in time.
How would you find the average speed of a cyclist through an entire?
You measure the entire and divide that by the total.
A plane maintains an average speed of 225 mph from London to New York It then returns from New York to London at an average speed of 180 mph What is the average speed for the entire journey?
202.5 mph
What was ashley' s average speed for the entire trip?
160 meters per minute
How is instantaneous speed different from average?
The average speed is the speed that it takes to travel a certain distance in a certain time. Average speed is determined by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken to get there. Instantaneous speed is a certain speed at any given time.
If you consider the total distance and total time for a trip are you calculating an instantaneous speed or constant speed average speed or non-uniform speed?
If only total distance and total time are considered, the speed calculated (total distance / total time) is the average speed of the entire trip.
A driver sets out on a 20 mile trip At halfway he has averaged 20 mph At what speed must he travel the rest of the way to make his overall average speed 40mph for the trip?
This is a trick question and the only possible answer is "it can't be done". In order to average 40MPH over 20 miles, the entire trip has to last 30 minutes (MPH=miles/hours). At the halfway point, which is 10 miles, at 20MPH it already took 30 minutes to get there, so there is no way to "make up for lost time" - no matter how fast you go, you can't average 40MPH on the trip. Even if you somehow were magically able to travel at the speed of light for the remaining 10 miles, which is 670,616,629MPH, your average speed of the trip would be only 39.999999881MPH, not quite 40MPH.
How do you find the average speed of a cyclist throughout an entire race?
total distance divided by total time
How would you find the average speed of cyclist throughout a entire race?
Total distance divided by total time
How would you find the average speed of a cyclicst throughout an entire race?
You divide the total distance by the total time.
What was Jack's average speed for the entire ride?
It was (the total distance he covered) divided by (the total time he spent riding).
