A person moves in a circular path of radius
44m. The person starts from point A moves
through the point o and reached at B
after 60 minutes. What is the speed and
velocity of that person
Answers
SoluTion :
✴ Given :-
- Radius of circle = 44m
- Time taken by person to move from A to B through C = 60min
✴ To Find :-
- Speed of person
- Velocity of person
✴ Concept :-
▪ Speed is defined as ratio of total distance covered to the total time whereas displacement is defined as ratio of total displacement to the total time.
▪ Distance is called as actual length of path.
▪ The shortest distance between initial and final position is called as displacement.
✴ Calculation :-
QUESTION :
See the attachment..
A person moves in a circular path of radius 44m.
The person starts from point A moves through the point o and reached point B after 60 minutes.
What is the speed and velocity of that person.
SOLUTION :
First let us define distance , speed, displacement and velocity .
Distance is a scalar quantity which refers to the total length of path travelled by a body.
Speed refers to the total length of path covered by a body between two fixed points in a definite time interval.
Displacement refers to the shortest distance between two points.
Velocity is defined as the displacement travelled by a particile / body in a definite time interval.
Now, let us solve the above Question...
The particle starts from A and reaches B.
Distance is half the circumference of the circle.
=> Distance = π r = 44 π
Time taken = 60 mins = 3600 Seconds.
Speed = Distance / Time = { 44 π / 3600 } m / s.
Displacement is the diameter of the circle.
Diameter is equal to 2 × Radius..
=> Diameter = 2 × 44 m.
=> 88 m .
Time taken = 60 mins = 3600 Seconds.
Velocity = Displacement / Time = { 88 / 3600 } m / s.
Answer :
The speed and velocity of that person are { 44 π / 3600 } m / s and { 88 / 3600 } m / s respectively..
