Question

if an object starts at rest and moves 60 meters north along a straight line in 2 seconds, what is the average velocity?

Answer 1

30 m/s because you would divide 60 meters by 2 seconds. 60 divided by two equals 30

Answer 2

Velocity =
       (distance between start-point and end-point) / (time to run the course)
in the direction of
       (direction from the start-point to the end-point).

Distance from start-point to end-point = 60 meters
Time to run the course = 2 seconds
Direction = north

Velocity = 30 m/s north
