Question

A cuckoo sitting on a tree top at a height of 10m from the ground, picks up sticks lying
on the ground to build a nest on the tree top. It starts picking up sticks at 7:00 a.m. and
ends up at 7:10 a.m. During this interval it makes 5 trips up and down. Find the average
speed and average velocity of the bird.
(A) 40m/s, 30m/s
(B) 10m/s, 10m/s
(C) 0.166m/s , Om/s
(D) 1m/s, Om/s

Answer 1

Answer:

c) 0.166m/s , 0m/s.

Explanation:

average speed = total distance travelled / total time taken to cover that particular distance.

so here, the height of tree is 10m and the bird completed 5 trips. Total distance travelled is 5*10= 50m.
