The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate both the speed and the velocity of the car based on the given information. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Identify the given data.** - Distance traveled by the car = 200 km - Time taken for the journey = 5 hours **Step 2: Calculate the speed of the car.** - Speed is defined as the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. \[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}} = \frac{200 \text{ km}}{5 \text{ hours}} = 40 \text{ km/h} \] **Step 3: Calculate the velocity of the car.** - Velocity is defined as the net displacement divided by the total time taken. - Since the car travels in a straight line from Delhi to Ambala towards the North, the net displacement is equal to the distance traveled. \[ \text{Velocity} = \frac{\text{Net Displacement}}{\text{Total Time}} = \frac{200 \text{ km}}{5 \text{ hours}} = 40 \text{ km/h} \] **Step 4: State the final answers.** - Speed of the car = 40 km/h - Velocity of the car = 40 km/h (towards North) ### Summary of Results: - Speed = 40 km/h - Velocity = 40 km/h towards North ---
