While loading, a truck moves 10 meters west from point A to point B in 5 seconds Then it moves back to point A in 5 seconds What are the average speed and average velocity of the truck

Respuesta :

AL2006
Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Average speed = (10m + 10m) / (5sec + 5sec)

Average speed = 20m / 10sec

Average speed  =  2 m/s
____________________________________________

Average velocity = displacement/time

Displacement = (distance and direction from start-point to end-point) .

The truck started at point-A and ended at point-A .

Displacement = 0 .

Average velocity = ( 0 ) / (10 sec)

Average velocity = 0
