Lewis Hamilton completed the first lap at the Monaco Grand-Prix with an average speed of 125 mi/h. His goal is to complete the first two laps with an average speed of 250 mi/h. How fast (in terms of average speed) should his second lap be?

Answer:

  infinitely fast

Step-by-step explanation:

To have double the average speed, he must complete the two laps in the same amount of time that he spent completing the first lap. That is, he must complete the second lap in zero time.

Hamilton's average speed for the second lap should be infinite. (He needs to finish it in zero time.)

_____

  speed = distance/time

Multiplying by 2, we get ...

  2×speed = 2×distance/time . . . . . the time hasn't changed
