Question

A jogger moves from a position x =

Answer 1

Answer:

3 m/s

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the change in displacement of the jogger. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial displacement (d₁) = 4 m

Final displacement (d₂) = 16 m

Change in displacement (Δd) =?

Δd = d₂ – d₁

Δd = 16 – 4

Δd = 12 m

Finally, we shall determine the determine the average velocity. This can be obtained as follow:

Change in displacement (Δd) = 12 m

Time (t) = 4 s

Velocity (v) =?

v = Δd / t

v = 12 / 4

v = 3 m/s

Thus, the average velocity of the jogger is 3 m/s
