Joseph jogs from 1 end to other end b of a straight road 300 m in 2 min 30 sec and then turns around and jogs 100 m back to point c in another 1 minute what are the average speed and velocity in jogging
Answers
Explanation:
From pont A to B
Distance covered=300m
Displacement=300m
Time taken=2 min 30 sec=(2×60)+30=150 sec
Average speed=
Timetaken
Distance covered
=
150
300
=2 m/sec
Average velocity=
Timetaken
Displacement
=
150
300
=2 m/sec
From point A to C
Distance covered=300+100=400m
Displacement=300−100=200m
Time taken=3 min 30 sec=(3×60)+30=210 sec
Average speed=
Timetaken
Distance covered
=
210
400
=1.90 m/sec
Average velocity=
Timetaken
Displacement
=
210
200
=0.95 m/sec
Velocity = dispacement / time
Speed = distance / time
a) when he jogs from A to B on a straight road,
displacement = distance = 300m
time = 2 minutes 30 seconds = 150 s
velocity = 300/150 = 2 m/s
speed = 300/150 = 2m/s
b)when he jogs from A to B and turns back to C,
displacement = 300-100 = 200m
distance = 300+100 = 400m
time = 3 minute 30 second = 210 s
velocity = 200/210 = 20/21 m/s
speed = 400/210 = 40/21 m/s
