Consider the motion of an athlete running along a circular track. The radius of the circular track. Assume that the athlete starts at A. If the athlete runs the first quarter AB in , BC in , CD in , and DA in , find the speed and velocity in each of the following cases.

An ant runs from an ant-hill in a straight line so that its velocity is inversely proportional to the distance from the centre of the ant-hill. When the ant is at a point A at a distance from the centre of the hill, its velocity is . Point B is at a distance of from the centre of the ant-hill. The time taken by the ant to run from A to B is

A point moves with uniform acceleration and its initial speed and final speed are and respectively then, the space average velocity over the distance moved is(in ):-

The distance travelled by a body moving along a straight line at time is given by . The initial velocity of the body is
