Answer:
The average speed of the bus, v = 1.55 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
Number of blocks traveled by bus towards east = 6
Number of blocks traveled by bus towards north = 8
Length of each block = 100 m
Distance traveled by bus towards east 6 x 100 = 600 m
Distance traveled by bus towards north 8 x 100 = 800 m
The total distance traveled, d = 600 + 800 = 1400
Time taken by the bus to travel is, t = 15 minutes
The velocity is given by the formula
v = d/t m
Substituting the values in the above equation
v = 1400 m /(15 x 60) s
= 1.55 m/s
Hence, the average speed of the bus, v = 1.55 m/s
