AI Generated Solution

To find the average velocity of the body, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Displacement in Each Direction 1. The body travels due east at a speed of 15 km/h for 1 hour. - Displacement in the east direction (OA) = Speed × Time = 15 km/h × 1 h = 15 km. 2. The body then turns south and travels at a speed of 10 km/h for 1 hour. - Displacement in the south direction (AB) = Speed × Time = 10 km/h × 1 h = 10 km. ...
