Question

if a cat is running at a constant speed of 10km/h for 5 s, what is its average speed and what is its instantaneous speed at 4 s?

Answer 1

Here a cat is running at constant speed which is given as 10 km/h for 5s

So here the average speed is defined as total distance moved in total time interval

so here it is given by

`v_(avg) = (distance)/(time)`

since

here speed of cat is constant so it will remain the same

And hence the average speed and instantaneous speed at any instant for this duration will remain the same

so here answer would be

average speed = 10 km/h

instantaneous speed = 10 km/h
