Question

In the qualifying round of the 50-yd freestyle in the sectional swimming championship, Dugan got an early lead by finishing the first 25.00 yd in 10.01 seconds. Dugan finished the return leg (25.00 yd distance) in 10.22 seconds. Determine Dugan's average velocity for the entire race. Number only, round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Answer:

v = 0

Explanation:

Given that,

Total distance is 50 yards

Dugan got an early lead by finishing the first 25.00 yd in 10.01 seconds

Dugan finished the return leg (25.00 yd distance) in 10.22 seconds.

We need to find Dugan's average velocity for the entire race. As he returns at the initial position. As a result, the net displacement is equal to 0. So,

Average velocity = net displacement/time

v = 0

Hence, his average velocity for the entire race is 0.
