Both magnitude and DIRECTION
For example,
• 12m East
• -2 miles
•9 meter north
• 8 miles up
The average speed of a moving body is given by:
average speed = total distance / total time
average speed = 560 / 25
22.4 meters per second
The skier is traveling at an average velocity of 22.4 meters per second.
Answer:
Acceleration, 
Explanation:
Initial speed of the skater, u = 8.4 m/s
Final speed of the skater, v = 6.5 m/s
It hits a 5.7 m wide patch of rough ice, s = 5.7 m
We need to find the acceleration on the rough ice. The third equation of motion gives the relationship between the speed and the distance covered. Mathematically, it is given by :




So, the acceleration on the rough ice
and negative sign shows deceleration.
Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy
