Answer:

The student's average velocity will be "1.69 m/s".

Displacement and Velocity:

The main distinction between velocity as well as speed would be that velocity, like speed, seems to have a direction and therefore it is a vector quantity.

This same distance travelled together along a straight line throughout a particular direction from either the beginning point is defined as displacement. Because displacement has both size as well as the direction, it's a vector quantity.

Given values:

Displacement, d = 304 m

Time, t = 180 s

We know,

The velocity (v):

= displacement/time

By substituting the values, we get

304/180=

1.69m/s
