A boy walks from his classroom to the bookshop along a straight corridor towards North. He covers a distance of 20 m in 25 seconds to reach the bookshop. After buying a book, he travels the same distance in the same time to reach back in the classroom. Find (a) average speed, and (b) average velocity, of the boy.
From the displacement – time graph shown given below calculate :
- Velocity between 0 – 2 s.
- Velocity between 8 s – 12 s.
- Average velocity between 5 s – 12 s.
