Question

A bicycle traveled 150 meters west from point A to point B. Then it took the same route and came back to point A. It took a total of 2 minutes for the bicycle to return to point A. What is the average speed and average velocity of the bicycle?

Answer 1

2.5 m/s

0 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Average speed is distance over time.

Average velocity is displacement over time.

The bicycle travels 150 meters from A to B, then 150 meters from B to A. So the distance is 300 meters and the displacement is 0 m.

s = 300 m / 120 s = 2.5 m/s

v = 0 m / 120 s = 0 m/s
