A boy run on a circular track of length 600 m in 2 minutes and return to the starting point calculate his average speed and average velocity
Answers
Here the given data
length of track = distance travelled = 600m
Time taken for travel = 2 minutes = 2 X 60 = 120 seconds
they are asking the average speed and velocity:
Therefore the average speed = total distance travelled / total time taken
= 600/120
= 5 m/s (this is the average speed)
so the average velocity = total displacement / total time taken
displacement = shortest distance between the starting and current point.
here the displacement is zero as he reached the same starting point.
so average velocity = 0/120
= 0 m/s (this is the average velocity)
hope its helpful
