Read the statement below carefully and state with reason, if it is true or false:
The average speed of a particle (defined as total path length divided by the time taken to cover the path) is either greater or equal to the magnitude of average velocity of the particle over the same interval of time.
विकल्प
True
False
उत्तर
This statement is True.
Explanation:
The total path length is always greater than or equal to the magnitude of displacement of a particle. Therefore, the average speed is greater or equal to the magnitude of the average velocity.

A hill is 500 m high. Supplies are to be sent across the hill using a canon that can hurl packets at a speed of 125 m/s over the hill. The canon is located at a distance of 800 m from the foot of hill and can be moved on the ground at a speed of 2 m/s; so that its distance from the hill can be adjusted. What is the shortest time in which a packet can reach on the ground across the hill? Take g = 10 m/s2.
