a)Total distance travelled = 23 km
Total time taken = 28 min = \(\frac{28}{60}\) h
Average speed of the taxi = \(\frac{\text{Total distance travelled} }{\text{Total time taken}} \)
= \(\frac{23}{ (\frac{29}{60})}\) = 49.29 Km/h
b) Distance between the hotel and the station = 10 km = Displacement of the car
∴ Average velocity = \(\frac{10}{\frac{28}{60}} \)= 21.43 km/h
Therefore, the two physical quantities (average speed and average velocity) are not equal.
Give reasons for the following.
(i) King Tut’s body has been subjected to repeated scrutiny.
(ii) Howard Carter’s investigation was resented.
(iii) Carter had to chisel away the solidified resins to raise the king’s remains.
(iv) Tut’s body was buried along with gilded treasures.
(v) The boy king changed his name from Tutankhaten to Tutankhamun.

The rate at which an object covers a certain distance is commonly known as speed.
The rate at which an object changes position in a certain direction is called velocity.
