A car moving along a straight line covers a distance of 1 km towards the east in 100 s.
Find
(i) The speed of the car.
(ii) The velocity of the car.

Open in App

Solution

i) speed = $\frac{D i s t a n c e}{T i m e}$

= $\frac{1000 m}{100 s}$

= $10 m / s$

ii) velocity = $\frac{D i s p l a c e m e n t}{T i m e}$

= $10 m / s$ towards east
