Answer:


displacement = 150 - 65 = 85m \\ time = 5sec \\ velocity = (displacement)/(time) \\ = (85)/(5) = 17 (m)/(s) south \\ thank \: you

  • Total distance=150m-65m=85m
  • Time=5s


\\ \rm\longrightarrow Avg\:Velocity=(Total\:Distance)/(Total\:Time)


\\ \rm\longrightarrow Avg\:Velocity=(85)/(5)


\\ \rm\longrightarrow Avg\:Velocity= 17m/s
