The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate Usha's average speed and average velocity based on the information provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Total Distance Covered**: - Usha swims from one end of the pool to the other and back. - The length of the pool is `90 m`. - Therefore, the total distance covered when she swims to one end and back is: \[ \text{Total Distance} = 90 \, \text{m} + 90 \, \text{m} = 180 \, \text{m} \] 2. **Determine the Total Time Taken**: - It is given that Usha takes `1 minute` to cover this distance. - We need to convert this time into seconds for our calculations: \[ \text{Total Time} = 1 \, \text{minute} = 60 \, \text{seconds} \] 3. **Calculate Average Speed**: - Average speed is defined as the total distance covered divided by the total time taken. - Using the formula: \[ \text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}} = \frac{180 \, \text{m}}{60 \, \text{s}} = 3 \, \text{m/s} \] 4. **Calculate Average Velocity**: - Average velocity is defined as the net displacement divided by the total time taken. - The net displacement is the difference between the final position and the initial position. Since Usha returns to her starting point: \[ \text{Net Displacement} = 0 \, \text{m} \] - Therefore, using the formula: \[ \text{Average Velocity} = \frac{\text{Net Displacement}}{\text{Total Time}} = \frac{0 \, \text{m}}{60 \, \text{s}} = 0 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Final Answers: - **Average Speed**: \(3 \, \text{m/s}\) - **Average Velocity**: \(0 \, \text{m/s}\)

To solve the problem, we need to calculate Usha's average speed and average velocity based on the information provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Total Distance Covered**: - Usha swims from one end of the pool to the other and back. - The length of the pool is `90 m`. - Therefore, the total distance covered when she swims to one end and back is: ...
