Here's a question that I got in my mechanics tutorial.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
A particle travels on a semi-circular path from A to B -
The diameter being 200m, the time taken 80 seconds, Calculate:
a) its speed
b) average velocity from A to B
c) the change velocity from A to B
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Me and my lecturer agree that a) is 3.93 m/s, b) is 2.5 m/s (in the direction A to B), but we disagree on c).
My lecturer got 5 m/s and me 7.85 m/s, are we both wrong or are one of us right?
Also it would be helpful to expalin how you get to the answer (if I'm wrong).
