Question

Consider a swimmer that swims a complete round-trip lap of a 50 m long pool in 100 seconds. The swimmer's... average speed is 0 m/s and average velocity is 0 m/s. average speed is 0.5 m/s and average velocity is 0.5 m/s. average speed is 1 m/s and average velocity is 0 m/s. average speed is 0 m/s and average velocity is 1 m/s.What is the swimmers average speed and average velocity?

Answer 1

Answer:

average speed is 1 m/s and average velocity is 0 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that :

Length of round trip = 50 m

Time taken = 100 seconds

The average speed :

Total distance / total time taken

Length of complete round trip :

(50 + 50) m, total. Distance = 100 m

100 / 100 = 1m/s

The average velocity :

Total Displacement / total time taken

Total Displacement of round trip = end point - start point = 0

0 / 100 = 0
