Question

an ant covers 5 m along each segment as show in the adjacent figure, and takes half an hour to reach the top. Find the speed and velocity of the ant

Answer 1

Explanation:

speed = total distance/ time = 5*4/30 = 2/3 m/min

velocity = displacement/time = AE/time = 10*sqrt(2)/30 = sqrt(2)/3 m/min

direction is towards AE
