Question
From the displacement - time graph shown given below calculate :
1. Velocity between $0-2 s$.
2. Velocity between $8 s-12 s$.
3. Average velocity between $5 s-12 s$.

Answer

(i) Velocity between $0-2 s=\frac{-(25-10)}{2}$
[negative sign because slope is negative]
$
=-\frac{15}{2}=-7.5 ms^{-1}
$
(ii) Velocity between $8 s-12 s=\frac{25-20}{12-8}=\frac{5}{4}=1.25 ms^{-1}$
(iii) Average velocity between $5 s-12 s$
$
\begin{array}{l}
=\frac{\text { Total displacement from } 5 s \text { to } 12 s}{\text { Time }} \\
=\frac{25-10}{12-5}=\frac{15}{7}=2.1 ms^{-1}
\end{array}

A girl had designed a clap switch for a science exhibition that enabled her to switch on or off an alarm just with clapping of hands. While testing her device in a hall, she noticed that once the alarm has sounded it followed with another one due to echo of the clap, that is, the sound reflected by the walls. She recorded the two soundings of alarm with her tape recorder and found out that time difference in between them is $0.1 \ s$. If the distance of the walls be $15 \ m$, calculate the speed of sound.
