Question

1. What is its average velocity over this time interval?

Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

A particle at t1 = -1.5 s is at x1 = 4.0 cm and at t2 = 5.0 s is at x2 = 9.0 cm .

2. What is its average velocity over this time interval?

Express your answer using two significant figures.

A rolling ball moves from x1 = 8.2 cm to x2 = -4.4 cm during the time from t1 = 3.7 s to t2 = 7.0 s .

Explanation / Answer

Average Velocity (Vav) = (XfXi)/(tfti)

Average Velocity = (X2-X1)/(t2-t1) = (9.0-4.0)/(5.0-(-1.5))

Average Velocity =  0.76cm/s Or .08 m/s
