What is the (a) magnitude of average velocity and (b) average speed of the man, over the interval of time (i) `0` to 30 min `. (ii) 0 to 50 min (iii) 0 to 40 min ?

Options

A. 0,4
B. 0,6
C. 0,8
D. 0,12

Answer

B

Explanation

(a) `overline(V)_("avg")=(overline(S)_(1)+overline(S)_(2))/(t_(1)+t_(2))`, (b) `V_("avg")=(S_(1)+S_(2))/(t_(1)+t_(2))`
