Question

You cover the following displacements every day going to school: d1=50 m, E and d2=95 m, N. You do this for 12 minutes. a) What is your speed in m/s? b) What is your velocity in m/s?

Answer 1

The speed will be 0.2 m/s and the velocity will be 0 m/s.

Speed = Total Distance / Total time

We have given total distance as ( 50 + 95 ) metres and total time as 12 minutes or we can say 720 seconds.

Speed = 145/ 720 m/s

Speed = 0.2 m/s

Velocity = Total Displacement / Total time

As the initial and final is the home, hence the net displacement is 0 in that case.

In this case also the total time we have given is 12 minutes or we can say 720 seconds.

Velocity = 0 / 720 m/s

Velocity = 0 m/s

So to conclude with we can say that the speed is 0.2 m/s and the velocity is 0 m/s.
