Observe the figure and answer the questions.
Sachin and Sameer started on a motorbike from place A, took the turn at B, did a task at C, travelled by the route CD to D and then went on to E. Altogether, they took one hour for this journey. Find out the actual distance traversed by them and the displacement from A to E. From this, deduce their speed. What was their velocity from A to E in the direction AE? Can this velocity be called average velocity?

A | B | C |
Work | Newton | erg |
Force | Metre | cm |
Displacement | Joule | dyne |



A ball is rolling from A to D on a flat and smooth surface. Its speed is . On reaching B, it was pushed continuously up to C. On reaching D from C, its speed had become . It took seconds for it to go from B to C. What is the acceleration of the ball as it goes from B to C?
