Answer:
10.9 m/s, −1.82 m/s
Explanation:
We have,
Anand gets into an elevator and travels 50 m straight up in a time of 5 s. He then travels in the opposite direction, straight down, for 70 m in a time of 6 s.
Total time of journey is 11 seconds.
Total distance is 50 m + 70 m = 120 m
Total displacement is 50 m - 70 m = -20 m
Average speed, [tex]s=\dfrac{120\ m}{11\ s}=10.9\ m/s[/tex]
Average velocity, [tex]v=\dfrac{-20\ m}{11\ s}=-1.82 \ m/s[/tex]
So, the correct option is (b) 10.9 m/s, −1.82 m/s.
