a car moving on a straight path covers a distance of 100m due east in 10 seconds. what is the speed and velocity of the car? |
|
Answer» 10 m/sExplanation:Since the car is vmoing in a STRAIGHT line, the distance and DISPLACEMENT of the car are both equal. So the speed and velocity would ALSO be equal.Speed = Distance/Time = 100/10 = 10 m/s[If you want to consider EAST to be negative direction, i.e, graphically negative x-axis, then you can consider the velocity to be -10 m/s] |
