When a particle moves with variable velocity, which of the following statement are NOT correct ?
(i) Average speed = average velocity
(ii) Instantaneous speed = instantaneous velocity

MEDIUM

Two skaters, P and Q are skating towards each other. Skater, P throws a ball towards, Q every 5 s such that it always leaves her hand with speed 2 m s-1 with respect to the ground. Consider two cases: (I) P runs with speed 1 m s-1 towards Q, while Q remains stationary. (II) Q runs with speed 1 m s-1 towards P, while P remains stationary. Note That irrespective of speed of P, ball always leaves P s hand with speed 2 m s-1 with respect to the ground. Ignore gravity. Balls will be received by Q.
