AIPMT PRELIMS 2006 Physics Circular Motion MCQ Question
A car runs at a constant speed on a circular track of radius 100 m, taking 62.8 s for every circular lap. The average velocity and average speed for each circular lap respectively is:
0, 0
0, 10 m/s
10 m/s, 20 m/s
20 m/s, 0
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The average velocity over a complete lap is zero because the displacement is zero. The average speed is the total distance divided by time, which is 10 m/s.
