Question

A car moving on a straight path covers a distance of 1 km due east in 100 s.What is (i) the speed and (ii) the velocity, of car ?

Answer 1

Here, distance travelled is 1 km, that means 1000 m

Time =100 s

The formula for speed = $\frac{Distance}{time}=\frac{1000}{100}=\frac{10m}{second}$ =


So the speed is 10 m/s

Since here
The distance= displacement
As the car is travelling towards east, , it can be said that the velocity of the car is 10 $\frac{m}{s}$ towards the east
