1 A child completes a circular track of 200 m length in 10 seconds. Calculate a) speed, b) velocity.
2 A car travels 10 m in 5 seconds, 20 m in next 10 seconds and 30 m in the last 10 seconds. Find the average speed of the car.
3 A body moving in a circle of radius r covers 3/4th of the circle. Calculate the ratio of distance to displacment
4A train is moving with a velocity of 36 km/h. Find the distance travelled by the train in a) 1 hour, b) 1 minute.
1.
a. Speed
Distance = 200 m
Time = 10 s
Speed = 200/10 = 20 ms-1
b. Velocity = 0 as net displacement completing a circular track is 0.
2.
Average speed = total distance covered / total time taken
= (10 + 20 + 30)/(5 + 10 + 10)
= 60 / 25
= 2.4 ms-1
3. Let the time taken = t
Distance covered in completing ¾ of a circle = ¾×2πr
= (3/2)πr
Displacement = √(r2 + r2)
= r√2
Distance / displacement = (3/2)πr / (r√2)
= (3/2)π/√2
Distance : displacement = (3/2)π : √2
4.
Here
Speed = 36 kmph
Distance = speed× time
- Distance travelled in 1 hr = 36×1 = 36 km
- Distance travelled in 1 min = 36×1/60 = 0.6 km
