Question

If a particle covers 10m in 2 second then the average speed of the particle is

Answer 1

Given,

Distance covered by particle = 10m

Time taken = 2 seconds

To Find,

Average speed of the particle

Solution,

The formula to calculate the average speed is

Average speed = total distance/total time

                          = 10/2

                          = 5 m/sec.

Hence, the average speed of the particle is 5 m/sec.

Answer 2

AVERAGE SPEED OF PARTICLE IS 5 m/s.

Given:

• Distance covered = 10 metres
• Time taken = 2 seconds

To find:

• Average speed of particle?

Calculation:

Average speed of an object is defined as the total distance divided by the total time taken.

$avg. \: s = \dfrac{distance}{time}$

$\implies avg. \: s = \dfrac{10 \: m}{2 \: sec}$

$\implies avg. \: s = 5 \: m/sec$

So, average speed is 5 m/sec
