Step 1
Introduction:-
- Average speed-
We know that the Average speed of the object is defined as the ratio of the total distance covered by the object to the time taken to travel a distance and the average speed is a scalar quantity that has magnitude only.
The average speed is the rate at which the total distance of an object is covered.
- Instantaneous speed:-
The instantaneous speed is defined as the speed of the object at an instant of time. or the ratio of the distance traveled by the object at a particular time interval is known as instantaneous speed.

- Time left 0:36:13 If two vectors, ₁ and ₂, are given in terms of magnitude and direction, a resultant can be calculated by performing a 1 21 number of steps. To determine the resultant, you must correctly order the steps below. 1. Calculate the direction of the resultant using the appropriate trigonometric ratio. 2. Draw the resultant vector using the Xtotal component and the total component, remembering to include positive or negative directions. 3. Calculate the resultant magnitude using the Pythagorean Theorem, c² = a² + b². 4. Use a vector diagram and trigonometric functions to convert the vectors to their component forms. 5. Add the components (Xtotal = X1 + X₂) and (Vtotal = 1 + y₂), remembering to include positive or negative directions. The order of steps, starting from the first step and ending with the last step, to determine the resultant is: In calm water, Kris can paddle at a speed of 4.25 m/s.
