Straight distance between a hotel and a railway stations is 10 km, but circular route is followed by a taxi coven 23 km in 28 minute. What is average speed and magnitude of average velocity ? Are they equal ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to calculate both the average speed and the magnitude of the average velocity of the taxi. Let's go through the steps one by one. ### Step 1: Calculate Average Speed Average speed is defined as the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. 1. **Total Distance Traveled**: The taxi covers a distance of 23 km. 2. **Total Time Taken**: The time taken is 28 minutes. We need to convert this into hours to calculate speed in km/h. \[ ...
