Question

 A car follows a curved highway from point a to point B covering a distance of 50 km and displacement to the east of 40 km in 0.5 hours. What is the speed and velocity of a car in kilometers per hour? Speed: Km/h. Velocity: Km/h.

Answer 1

Distance = 50 Km

Displacement = 40 Km

Time = 0.5 hours

We know, speed = $\sf \frac{distance}{time}$

Therefore, the speed of the car

$\sf = \frac{50}{0.5} = 100$

We know, velocity = $\sf \frac{displacement}{time}$

Therefore, the velocity of the car

$\sf = \frac{40}{0.5} = 80$

Answer:

Answer:The speed of the car is 100 Km/h. The velocity of the car is 80 Km/h to the east.

Hope you could get an idea from here.
