4. A boy walks to his school at a distance of 6km with constant speed of 2.5 kmph and walks back with
a constant speed of 4kmph. His average speed for round trip expressed in kmph is
1. 24/13 2. 40/13 3. 3 4. 1/2
5. An electron starting from rest has a velocity that increases linearly with the time that is v = kt, where
k = 2m/sec. The distance travelled in the first 3 seconds will be
