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.
y = a sin(βx + γt)wherex and t represent displacement and time, respectively. Then, the dimensional formula for β— γis:
Find the mean and variance for the following frequency distribution.
Classes | 0-10 | 10-20 | 20-30 | 30-40 | 40-50 |
Frequencies | 5 | 8 | 15 | 16 | 6 |
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.
