A track athlete runs 100 yards in 10 secounds. What is his average linear speed and average linear velocity?

Solution

Linear distance covered by athelete = 100 yards = 91.44m

time taken = 10 sec

:. average linear speed = 9.144m/s

and average linear velocity = 9.144m/s

because in case of linear forward motion distance is equall to displacement.
