Options:
  • A $10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}, 0$
  • B 0,0
  • C $0,10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
  • D $10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}, 10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$

The correct answer is: $10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}, 10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$
Distance trevelled in one revolution
$\begin{aligned}
& =2 \pi r \\
& \therefore \text { Average speed }=\frac{\text { Totaldistance }}{\text { Total time }} \\
& \Rightarrow \quad \frac{2 \pi r}{t}=\frac{2 \times 3.14 \times 100}{62.8} \\
& =10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}
\end{aligned}$
Displacement in one revolution is zero.
$\begin{aligned}
\therefore \text { Average Velocity }= & \frac{\text { Net displacement }}{\text { True }} \\
& =\frac{0}{t}=0
\end{aligned}$
