A man walks on a straight road from his home to a market 2.5 km away with a speed of 5 km h^(-1). Finding the market closed, he instantly turns and walks back home with a speed of 7.5 km h^(-1). 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 ? [Note: You will appreciate from this exercise why it is better to define average speed as total path length divided by time, and not as magnitude of average velocity. You would not like to tell the tired man on his return home that his average speed was zero !]

Assertion: Average speed of a particle in a given time interval is never less than the magnitude of the average velocity. Reason: The magnitude of the velocity (instantaneous velocity) of a particle is equal to its speed.

A bus covers 3 equal distances. The first is covered with speed 10 km/h, second with speed 20 km/h and third with 60 km/h, then find its average speed in km/h.

Position time graph is given find average speed in time t=0 and t=15 sec is

An express train takes 1 hour less than a passenger train to travel 132 km between Mysore and Bangaluru (without taking into consideration the time they stop at intermediate stations). If the average speed of the express train is 11km/h more than that of the passenger train, find the average speed of the two trains.

A train travels with speed 40 km h^(-1) for first 15 minutes and then 60 km h for next 15 minutes, hence its average speed during this time interval is 50 km h ^(-1).

Define average power.

Average velocity …... Average speed.
