The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the average speed and average velocity of a car running on a circular track, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Data:** - Radius of the circular track, \( r = 10 \, \text{m} \) - Time taken for one complete lap, \( t = 6.28 \, \text{s} \) 2. **Calculate the Circumference of the Circular Track:** - The formula for the circumference \( C \) of a circle is given by: \[ C = 2 \pi r \] - Substituting the value of \( r \): \[ C = 2 \pi (10) = 20 \pi \, \text{m} \] - Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \): \[ C \approx 20 \times 3.14 = 62.8 \, \text{m} \] 3. **Calculate the Average Speed:** - Average speed is defined as the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken: \[ \text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}} = \frac{C}{t} \] - Substituting the values: \[ \text{Average Speed} = \frac{62.8 \, \text{m}}{6.28 \, \text{s}} = 10 \, \text{m/s} \] 4. **Calculate the Average Velocity:** - Average velocity is defined as the total displacement divided by the total time taken. Since the car returns to its starting point after one complete lap, the displacement is zero: \[ \text{Displacement} = 0 \, \text{m} \] - Therefore, the average velocity is: \[ \text{Average Velocity} = \frac{\text{Displacement}}{\text{Total Time}} = \frac{0 \, \text{m}}{6.28 \, \text{s}} = 0 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Final Answers: - **Average Speed:** \( 10 \, \text{m/s} \) - **Average Velocity:** \( 0 \, \text{m/s} \)
