A student is bicycling north along Main Street to school. Another student is timing the bicycling student in order to determine
1 answer:
The average velocity is -4.17 m/s
Explanation:
The average velocity of a body is given by:
where
d is the displacement of the body
t is the time elapsed
For the student in this problem, we have:
Initial position:
Final position:
So the displacement is
The time elapsed is
t = 60 s
Therefore, the average velocity is
Where the negative sign means the student is moving towards the origin.
