The speed of the cyclist between two points S1 and S2 as shown in figure is:

Correct answer: C. 30 km h-1

  • A. 10 km h-1
  • B. 20 k/m h-1
  • C. 30 km h-1
  • D. 50 km h-1

Explanation

The following is the solution: The cyclist travels a total distance of 20 km, but they do it in 20 minutes, not 1 hour. That means their speed is 20 km / 20 minutes = 30 km/h. The total distance traveled by the cyclist is 20 km, and the time it takes them to travel the total distance is 20 minutes. Converting the time from minutes to hours, we get 20 minutes = 20/60 hours = 1/3 hours. Substituting these values into the speed formula, we get: Speed = 20 km / (1/3) hours = 30 km/h

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.
