Starting from home a person goes to market 2km from home and returned back to a friend's house on same road 500m from the market. It took him 40min to complete the journey. What is speed and velocity? Which one of them is larger value? |

Answer» Velocity = DISPLACEMENT/time Here, velocity = 1500/40x60 (Since displacement = 2km-500m and 40 minutes = 40x60 seconds)
Here, speed = 2500/40x60 (Since distance = 2km+500m and 40 minutes = 40x60 seconds) 2. Therefore, speed = 1.04 m/s (Approximately) 3. => Speed is larger than velocity |
