Question

Please help!!!

Answer 1

A).  Her distance traveled was (700m + 500m) = 1,200 meters

B).  Her displacement was (700m north + 500m south) = 200 meters north

C).  Her average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Speed = (1,200 meters) / (15 seconds)

Speed = 80 meters/second

(Layne is an incredible walker !  That's about 179 miles per hour.)

(She walks 700m in 10 seconds.  Usain Bolt runs only 100m in 10 seconds.)

D).  Her averge velocity = (displacement) / (time)

Velocity = (200 meters north) / (15 seconds)

Velocity = (13 and 1/3) m/s north

(This is only about 33% faster than Usain Bolt, if he went straight instead of doubling back, and if he could keep it up for 200 meters instead of only 100 meters.)
