Question

the distance between school and your house be 1200 metres. A boy takes 15 minutes in going from his house to the school and another 15 minutes in coming back to his house. What is the speed of the boy and his velocity​

Answer 1

Answer:

speed = 1.33 m/s and velocity = 0

Explanation:

Given, Distance covered = 2400 metres

but displacement = 0 metres ( as final and initial position is same )

Time taken = 30 minutes = 30 x 60 seconds = 1800 secs

As speed = distance covered / time = 2400 / 1800 = 1.33 m/s

Velocity = Displacement / time = 0 / 1800 = 0
