Question

a car travels a distance of 200 km from delhi to ambala towards north in 5 hours calculate (1)speed (2) velocity of car for journey​

Answer 1

Answer:

(1) 40 kmph

(2) 40 kmph north

Explanation:

Speed = Distance / Time

= 200 km / (5 hr)

= 40 kmph

Average velocity = Displacement / Time

[In given case magnitude of displacement is equal to total distance covered.]

= (200 km north) / (5 hr)

= 40 kmph north

Note: Average velocity is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction.
