A particle moves along the sides AB, BC,CD of a square of each side 25m with velocity of 15m/s. Its average velocity is:
Correct answer: D. 5 m/s
- A. 15 m/s
- B. 10 m/s
- C. 7 m/s
- D. 5 m/s
Explanation
Step1:The problem describes a particle moving along the sides AB,BC and CD of a square with a side length of 25m at a velocity of 15ms . Step 2: Calculate the total distance traveled: The total distance = AB+BC+CD=25m+25m+25m= 75m. Step 3: Calculate the total time taken: Total time = Total distance / Velocity =75m/15ms =5s. Step 4: Determine the displacement: The displacement is the distance between the initial point A and the final point D, which is 25m. Step5: Calculate the average velocity: Average velocity= Displacement/Total time =25m/5s=5 ms-1. The best answer is (D) 5ms-1.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
