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 speeds and velcity will be 0.020 m/sec and 0.0149 m/sec.

What is speed?

Speed is defined as the rate of change of the distance or the height attained. it is a time-based quantity. it is denoted by u for the initial speed while V for the final speed. its si unit is m/sec.

Given data;

d1=50 m E

d2=95 m N
Time period,t = 12 min = 12 × 60 sec = 7200 sec

The displacement is the shortest distance found from the pythogorous theorem as;

Displacement = √[(50 )²+(95)²]

Displacement = 107.35 m

a)The speed is found as;

Speed = distance / time

Speed = 50 +95 / 7200

Speed = 0.020 m/sec

b)The velocity is found as;

Velocity = Displacement / time

Velocity = 107.35 / 7200

Velocity = 0.0149 m/sec

Hence the speed and the velcity will be 0.020 m/sec and 0.0149 m/sec.
