(a) Average speed vav = \(\frac{Total\;distance\;covered}{Total\;time\;taken}\)
= \(\frac{150}{5}\) = 30 m/s
(b) Time = 1s
Distance = Vav x time = 30 x 1 = 30 m/s
(c) Time = 6s
Distance = Vav x time = 30 x 6 = 180 m/s
(d) Distance = 240 m
Time = \(\frac{Distance}{V_{av}}\) = \(\frac{240}{30}\) = 8 s
