Answer:
4.157 m/s
Explanation:
Average velocity: This can be defined as the ratio change in position to time interval. The S.I unit of average velocity is m/s
The expression for average velocity is given as,
V = Δx/t.............. Equation 1
Where V = average velocity, Δx = change in position on the x- axis, t = time.
But,
Δx = x₂-x₁........... Equation 2
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1
V = (x₂-x₁)/t................ Equation 3
Given: x₂ = 32.4 m, x₁ = -5 m, t = 8.9 s
Substitute into equation 3
V = [32.4-(-5)]/8.9
V = (32.4+5)/8.9
V = 37.4/8.9
V = 4.157 m/s
Hence the average velocity = 4.157 m/s
Answer:
v = 4.20m/s
Average velocity is 4.20m/s
Explanation:
Average velocity is the change in displacement per unit time;
v = ∆x/t
Given;
∆x = 32.4 - (-5) = 37.4 m
t = 8.9 seconds
Substituting the values;
v = 37.4m/8.9s
v = 4.20m/s
Average velocity is 4.20m/s
