A body rises vertically up to a height of 125 m in 5 s and then comes back at the point of projection. Find: (i) the total distance travelled, (ii) the displacement, (iii) the average speed and (iv) the average velocity of the body.

Answer»

Solution :Given, S = 125 m, t = 5 s
(i) Total DISTANCE travelled=S+S=2S
= `2 xx 125` m = 250 m
(II) Displacement = 0 (since final position is same as initial position). Total distance travelled
(iii) Average speed = `("Total distance travelled ")/("Total time of JOURNEY")`
`=(2S)/(2T) = (2xx 125 m)/(2xx5s )`
(iv) Average velocity =0 ( since displacement is ZERO).
