(a) Total distance travelled = 23 km Total time taken = 28 min = 28 / 60 h â?´ Average speed of the taxi = Total disttance travelled / Total time taken = 23 / (28/60) = 49.29 km/h (b) Distance between the hotel and the station = 10 km = Displacement of the car â?´ Average velocity = 10 / (28/60)...

The Earth moving round the Sun in a circular orbit is acted upon by a force, and hence
work must be done on the Earth by this force. Do you agree with this statement?
The force on earth jn circular trajectory is gravity,acting radially inward...the direction of motion is tangential.....as u knw work is dot product of force and dx, the work done is zero.
