Given
- Number of rounds = 5
- Diameter = 10 m
- Time = 15 min
To Find
- Velocity & Speed of the athlete
Solution
☯ Velocity = Displacement/Time
- Where displacement is the shortest distance between the starting & ending point
☯ Speed = Distance/Time
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✭ Velocity of the athlete :
➞ Velocity = Displacement/Time
- Displacement = 0 m (as the initial & the final points are the same after 5 rounds)
- Time = 15 min = 15 × 60 = 900 sec
➞ Velocity = 0/900
➞ Velocity = 0 m/s
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✭ Speed of the athlete :
➞ Speed = Distance/Time
- Distance = Circumference = 2πr = {2 × 22/7 × 5}×5 = 157m
- Time = 900 sec
➞ Speed = 157/900
➞ Speed = 0.174 m/s
∴ The velocity of the athlete us 0 m/s & his speed is 0.174 m/s
