Question

A squirrel has x- and y-coordinates (1.0 m, 3.1 m) at time t_1 = 0 and coordinates (5.9 m, -0.70 m) at time t_2 = 3.0 s.

Express your answer using two significant figures. V_x = _______ m/s For this time interval, find the y-component of the average velocity. Express your answer using two significant figures. V_y = _______ m/s Part C Find the magnitude of the average velocity. Express your answer using two significant figures.

Explanation / Answer

part A)

for the x component of average velocity

x component of average velocity = (xf - xi)/time

x component of average velocity = (5.9 - 1)/3

x component of average velocity = 1.63 m/s

part B)

for the y component of average velocity

y component of average velocity = (yf - yi)/time

y component of average velocity = (-0.70 - 3.1)/3

y component of average velocity = -1.27 m/s

part C)

magnitude of average velocity = sqrt(Vx^2 + Vy^2)

magnitude of average velocity = sqrt(1.63^2 + 1.27^2)

magnitude of average velocity = 2.06 m/s
