I have changed the values, and the homework also changes every time I submit a response, I would just like to see an example worked out, so change the values as well if you want!
1. Homework Statement
A person takes a trip heading south with an average velocity of magnitude 120.0 km/h except for a 0.50h stop. Overall average velocity for the trip is 60.0 km/h. How far in km is the trip?
Part of the homework was to come up with the relation between the 3 times, which I got right at
Toverall=-Tbreak+Ttrip
However I do not understand how this would help solve the problem.
I have tried many different attempts, but the one I feel should work, just not sure how would be
120.0km/h = (60.0km/x(h))+(0.0km/(0.6h))
however this was not right, also tried using t=d/r
