Question

 A car follows a curved highway from point a to point B covering a distance of 50 km and displacement to the east of 40 km in 0.5 hours. What is the speed and velocity of a car in kilometers per hour? Speed: Km/h. Velocity: Km/h.

Answer 1

Distance = 50 Km

Displacement = 40 Km

Time = 0.5 hours

We know, speed =
`\sf (distance)/(time)`

Therefore, the speed of the car

`\sf = (50)/(0.5) = 100`

We know, velocity =
`\sf (displacement)/(time)`

Therefore, the velocity of the car

`\sf = (40)/(0.5) = 80`

Answer:

Answer:The speed of the car is 100 Km/h. The velocity of the car is 80 Km/h to the east.

Hope you could get an idea from here.
