Question

Veronica’s velocity was measured as 4.3 m/s. She displaced 20 meters in 4.7 seconds. Which piece of information is missing for the correct calculation of velocity?
A)the starting point
B)the direction
C)the end point
D)the time per meter

Answer 1

We are given displacement = 20 meters.

Time given = 4.7 seconds.

Velocity = 4.3 m/s.

Please note : Velocity is a vector quantity. A vector quantity depends on magnitude and direction as well.

We are given magnitude of displacement = 20 meter and time 4.7 seconds but the direction is missing there.

If it would be in forward direction it would be positive and if it would be in backward direction, it would be of negative.

Therefore, "B)the direction" is correct option.

Answer 2

Answer: "B)the direction" is correct option.
