Question

A man runs 800m due north in 110 seconds followed by 400m due suoth in 90 seconds calculate his average speed and his average velocity​

Answer 1

Average speed is 6m/s

Average velocity is 5.859m/s

Explanation:

Average speed, s = d/t

d is distant

t is time

speed north is 800m and 110s

speed due south is 400m and 90s

Average speed = (800+400) / (110+90)

= 1200/200

=6m/s

Average velocity V = (v + u)/2

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

V = (7.273 + 4.444)/2 = 11.717/2

V = 5.859m/s
