$A$ man walks on a straight road from his home to a market $2.5 \; km$ away with a speed of $5 \; km \; h^{-1}$. Finding the market closed,he instantly turns and walks back home with a speed of $7.5 \; km \; h^{-1}$. What is the average speed of the man over the interval of time $0$ to $40 \; min$?

  • A
    $1.875 \; km \; h^{-1}$
  • B
    $6 \; km \; h^{-1}$
  • C
    $5.625 \; km \; h^{-1}$
  • D
    $2.5 \; km \; h^{-1}$

$A$ body is at rest at $x=0$. At $t=0$,it starts moving in the positive $x-$direction with a constant acceleration. At the same instant,another body passes through $x=0$ moving in the positive $x$ direction with a constant speed. The position of the first body is given by $x_{1}(t)$ after time $t$ and that of the second body by $x_{2}(t)$ after the same time interval. Which of the following graphs correctly describes $(x_{1}-x_{2})$ as a function of time $t$?
