Question

What is the average velocity of a car if it travels from position 25m to a position of -7m in 34 seconds?

Answer 1

Answer:

vp = 0.94 m/s

Explanation

Formula

Vp = position/ time

position: Initial position - Final position

Position = 25 m - (-7 m) = 25 m + 7 m = 32 m

Then

Vp = 32 m / 34 seconds

Vp = 0.94 m/s

Answer 2

Answer:

Average velocity = 0.94 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Initial position A = 25 m

Final position B = -7 m

Duration t = 34 s

Solution

Average Velocity

$v_{avg} =\frac{Displacement}{time} \\\\v_{avg} =\frac{A-B}{t} \\\\v_{avg} =\frac{25-(-7)}{34} \\\\v_{avg} =0.94 m/s$
