Question

Write a function that takes in two parallel lists: a list of times (in increasing order), and a list of distance traveled by that point in time. The function should return a new list giving the average velocity between consecutive time measurements. The new list should have length one less than the original lists.

Answer 1

Below is the function that takes two parallel lists;

List of times in increasing order and that of distance travelled by that point in time.

I put into consideration the instructions given in the question.

ANSWER;

def find_velocity(time, distance):

velocities = []

for i in range(1, len(time)):

velocities.append((distance[i] - distance[i - 1]) / (time[i] - time[i - 1]))

return velocities

times are = [1, 3, 5, 7]

distances are = [25, 29, 35, 70]

print(find_velocity(times, distances))
