A car moving on a straight path covers a distance of 1 km due east in 100 s.What is (i) the speed and (ii) the velocity, of car ?
Here, distance travelled is 1 km, that means 1000 m
Time =100 s
The formula for speed = Distancetime=1000100=10msecond =
So the speed is 10 m/s
Since here
The distance= displacement
As the car is travelling towards east, , it can be said that the velocity of the car is 10 ms towards the east
