Question

A man started at his house and went to the post office, then to the pet store, and finally home again. What is the average velocity if this trip took three hours?
Explain how you arrived at your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

0

Explanation:

Defining velocity :

Velocity is a vector which is the ratio of a person's total displacement with time.

Displacement, in simple terms refers to the distance between an individual's initial position to his final position.

Man's initial position = House

After all his navigation and points covered irrespective of the distance ;

Final position = House

Hence, we can conclude that the man's Displacement is ;

Final position - Initial position = 0

Hence,

Velocity = Displacement / time taken

Velocity = 0 / 3

Velocity = 0
