The velocity of penguin as he ends where he started was 0 m/s.

<h3>What is displacement?</h3>

Displacement is the length of straight line joining the initial and final position of the body.

Given is a penguin who waddled 8 m uphill before sliding back down to its friends in 2 seconds.

We know that the velocity is the rate of change of displacement with respect to time. Mathematically -

v = dx/dt

dx = v dt

∫dx = ∫v dt

Δx = vΔt

v = Δx/Δt

Now, the displacement of the penguin will be = Δx = 8 - 8 = 0

Then, its velocity will be -

v = 0/Δt = 0

Therefore, the velocity of penguin as he ends where he started was 0 m/s.
