Is there any other optional answers that go with this question
Answer:
<h2>a) Average velocity = 1.25 m/s to the right</h2><h2>b) Average speed = 3.75 m/s</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
A woodchuck runs 20 m to the right in 5 s, then turns and runs 10 m to the left in 3 s.
Total displacement = 20 - 10 = 10 m to the right
Total time = 5+3 = 8 s
Total distance = 20 + 10 = 30 m
a) We have
Total displacement = Average velocity x Time
10 = Average velocity x 8
Average velocity = 1.25 m/s to the right
b)We have
Total distance = Average speed x Time
30 = Average speed x 8
Average speed = 3.75 m/s
The answer is A. This is because in A, you are subtracting 2 from X, instead of X from 2.
