A truck driven by George makes its journey in two parts.
In the first part, its speed is 82 km/h and it travels for 4 hours.
Then, George has a break at a petrol station for 20 minutes.
In the second part, George travels at a speed of 70 km/h for 3 hours.

Let's first remind ourselves of the formula for finding velocity:
= distance
= time
= velocity
Then substitute the data into the formula:
Calculate accordingly to get:
Therefore, the average velocity is 58.82.

What is his average speed?
In the first stage, we want to find the distance the truck traveled in its total journey,
We will use the data we already have,
78 km/h for two hours of driving and 85 km/h for an additional hour and a half.
78*2+85*1.5=
156+127.5=
283.5 km
Now, we want to discover the total duration of the journey.
We know there were two hours of driving, a quarter-hour break, and another hour and a half of driving,
Meaning:
2+0.25+1.5=
3.75 hours
Now, we'll divide the travel distance by the number of hours
285/3.75=
75.6 km/h
And that's the average speed!

A projectile is fired at a speed of 2500 km/h and travels 135 meters until it hits its target.
It passes through the target, which reduces its speed to 1300 km/h, after which point it continues for another 1.8 seconds until it hits a wall.
What is its average speed from the moment of firing until it stops?
