Answer:
1). 114.29 km per hour
2). 93.24 km per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Question (1)
Umar drove his taxi in two parts;
1). Ipoh to Tapah
2). Tapah to Kuala Lumpur
Since, the formula to calculate the average speed = [tex]\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}[/tex]
Total distance from Ipoh to Tapah = 60 km
Average speed to cover this distance = 100 km per h
Time taken to cover this distance = [tex]\frac{\text{Distance covered}}{\text{Speed}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{60}{100}[/tex]
= 0.6 hours
Total distance from Ipoh to Kuala Lumpur = 220 km per h
Average speed from Ipoh to Kuala Lumpur = 110 km per h
Time taken to cover the distance = [tex]\frac{220}{110}[/tex] = 2 hours
Distance from Tapah to Kuala lumpur = 220 - 60
= 160 km
Time taken to travel from Tapah to Kuala Lumpur = 2 - 0.6
= 1.4 hours
Average speed from Tapah to Kuala Lumpur = [tex]\frac{160}{1.4}[/tex]
= 114. 29 km per hour
Question (2).
Speed achieved by the leopard = 25.9 meter per sec.
Since, 25.9 meter = [tex]\frac{25.9}{1000}[/tex] km
= 0.0259 km
1 second = [tex]\frac{1}{3600}[/tex] hour
Therefore 25.9 meter per second = [tex]\frac{0.0259}{\frac{1}{3600} }[/tex]
= 0.0259 × 3600
= 93.24 km per hour
