A passenger arriving in a new town wishes to go from the station to a hotel located 10 km away on a straight road from the station. A dishonest cabman takes him along a circuitous path 23 km long and reaches the hotel in 28 min. What is (a) the average speed of the taxi, (b) the magnitude of average velocity? Are the two equal?

(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)...

Why is only the speed of light constant in all frames of reference?

It is a fundamental postulate of Einstein's particular theory of relativity. We found no evidence opposing this until now. It is confirmed later in many experiments.
