A car travels West for 20min at 80km/hr and in direction 45NW at 30km/hr for 6min. Calculate the Total distance covered/ displacement of the car/ average speed/ average velocity.

1 answer

west =(1/3)hour*80 + (1/10)hr* 30 * cos 45

north = (1/10)*30 * sin 45

distance = sqrt(north^2+west^2)

displacement = distance at angle T north of west where tan T = north/west

speed = distance/ (1/3+1/10)

velocity = speed at angle T
