Question

A paper airplane flies through the air 26 meters towards the west during a 20 second period. What is the average velocity of the paper airplane?

1.3 m/s westward
1.3 m/s
0.77 m/s westward
0.77 m/s

Answer 1

The answer is 0.77 m/s westward.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average velocity is defined as the total displacement divided by the total time. In this case, the total displacement is 26 meters westward and the total time is 20 seconds. Therefore, the average velocity is 0.77 m/s westward.

Answer 2

The answer is 0.77 m/s westward.

Average velocity is defined as the total displacement divided by the total time. In this case, the total displacement is 26 meters westward and the total time is 20 seconds. Therefore, the average velocity is 0.77 m/s westward.
