While jogging on a straight road, Ann covers 300 m towards east in 2 minutes 50 seconds. Then, she turned around and jogs for 1 minute covering a distance of 100 m. Calculate average speed and average velocity.
The diagram representing the motion is as follows
From A to C:
Time taken =170 s+60 s=230 s
Distance travelled =300 m+100 m=400 m
Hence, average speed=400230=1.74 m/s
Displacement = AC = 200 m
So, average velocity=200230=0.869 m/s
