Question

A car travels 82 meters do North and 14 seconds the car turns around and travels 44 m due south in four seconds what is the magnitude of the average velocity of the car during the full travel time?

Answer 1

Answer:

2.11 m/s

Explanation:

Take north to be positive and south to be negative.

Average velocity = displacement / time

v = (82 m + -44 m) / (14 s + 4 s)

v = 2.11 m/s

The velocity is positive, so it is 2.11 m/s north.  The magnitude of the velocity is 2.11 m/s.
