Let us assume a man travelled from a point A to a point B over a distance 'd'. After a while he travels the same distance back to point A.

Therefore, since his initial and final positions are the same, displacement is equal to zero, and the distance travelled is (d + d) = 2d, which is not zero.

Noelle walks from point A to point B at an average speed of 5 kilometers per hour. At what speed, in kilometers per hour, must N

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

the speed at which Noelle walks from point B to A, v=7.5 kilometers per hour

Explanation:

In this question we have given

average speed for the entire trip,S = 6 kilometers per hour

Speed of Noelle while walks from point A to B= 5 kilometers per hour

Therefore, time taken by Noelle to walks from point A to B, $t_{1}=\frac{d}{5}$
