body travels from A to B at 40m/s and from B to A at 60m/s. Calculate the average speed and the average velocity.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total time taken is (d/40) + (d/60). Hence average speed = total distance/total time taken = 48 m/s. Average velocity = displacement/time. Since the body is back to same point, displacement = 0.
