Question

a taxi was hired for a round trip from City a to city bit covers a distance of 500 km in 7 hours and written in 6 hour covering the bag journey for 500 km find the average speed of the taxi for whole journey is it same as average velocity ?

Answer 1

As we know Average Speed = Total Distance/Total Time

Total distance = 500+500 km = 1000km
Total time = 7+6 hours = 13 hours

Average Speed = 1000/13 Km/hr


Average Velocity = Total displacement/total time

Displacement = 0 because initial and final points are same

time = 6+7 hours = 13 hours

Average velocity = 0/13 = 0 km/hr
