Show hintHide hint
Consider recaps of previous topics.
3Question 3.
What is time mean speed?
Show hintHide hint
Focus on the definition related to time and average.
4Question 4.

Show hintHide hint
Think about how speeds change with traffic.
Question 5.
A study records 100 vehicles with speeds of 20, 40, 80 km/h. Analyze the variations and calculate both mean speeds and their difference.
Show hintHide hint
Apply the foundational mean speed equations.
Question 6.
In a longitudinal traffic study, data indicates flow of 150 vehicles/hour and density of 30 vehicles/km. Calculate space mean speed and infer from flow-dense characteristics.
