An insect moves along a circular path of radius 10 cm with a constant speed. If it takes 1 minute to move from a point on the path to the diametrically opposite point, then, the following quantities:
1. Distance covered
2. Speed
3. Displacement
4. Average velocity
will be respectively:
31.4 cm
31.4 cm/min
20 cm
0.33 cm/s
1. The distance covered = πr=3.14×10=31.4 cm.
2. Speed =distance coveredtime=31.4 cm1 min=31.4 cm/min.
3. Displacement = length of diameter
=2r=2×10=20 cm.
And, 4. Average velocity =displacementtime=20 cm60 sec=0.33 cm/s
