a. `v_(av_(1)) =(50)/(20) =2.5 m s^(-1)`,
b. `v_(av_(2)) =(50)/(22) =2.27 m s^(-1)`
c. `v_(av)` is zero for round trip because displacement is zero.

STATEMENT - 1 : Distance is a vector quantity and displacement is a scalar quantity. STATEMENT - 2 : A person makes a round - trip journey, finishing where she started. The displacement for the trip is 0 and the distance is some nonzero value. STATEMENT - 3 : A person starts at position A and finishes at position B. The distance for the trip is the length of the segment measured from A to B.

A man is standing on top of a building 100 m high. He throws two balls vertically, one at t = 0 and other after a time interval (less than 2s). The later ball is thrown at a velocity of half the first. The vertical gap between first and second ball is 15 m at t = 2. The gap is found to remain constant. The velocities with which the balls were thrown are (Take g = 10 m s^(-1) )
