Q 29.

A Physics teacher is explaining the difference between average speed and average velocity to her students.
She emphasises that average speed is more relevant than average velocity,because displacement from one place to other is only theoretical, being the shortest distance between two places. Average speed is the real entity that matters,taking into account the actual time taken to travel the actual distance between the two stations.
Read the above passage and answer the following questions :
(i) Do you agree with the statement of Physics teacher?
(ii) The shortest distance between Ambala and Delhi is 200 km.A train takes 4 hrs and covers a distance of 210 km in going from Ambala to Delhi via Karnal.Another train takes 5 hrs and covers 250 km distance in going from Ambala to Delhi via Saharanpur.What is the average speed of these two trains ? What would be the average velocity of a train that takes 2.5 hrs to cover 200 km distance ?
(iii) What values do you learn from this discussion ?
