List two differences in tabular form between speed and velocity. When is a body said to have :
$(a)$ uniform velocity and $(b)$ variable velocity. How is the average velocity of a body is calculated when its velocity changes at a non$-$uniform rate ?

Option A

Option B

Option C

Option D

Solution

For difference see chapter at a glance.

$(a)$ If a body covers equal distances in equal intervals of time in a given direction.

$(b)$ When a body travels unequal distances in equal intervals of time or its direction changes or both change.

Average velocity will found out by finding the ratio (Net displacement$/$net time).

The average time taken by a normal person to react to an emergency is one$-$fifteenth of a second and is called the 'reaction time'. If a bus is moving with a velocity of $60\, km h^{-1}$ and its driver sees a child running across the road, how much distance would. the bus had moved before he could press the brakes ? The reaction time of the people increases when they are intoxicated. How much distance had the bus moved if the reaction time of the driver were $\frac{1}{2}\, s$ under the influence of alcohol ?
